Lai has won a string of awards for his music and acting, and was nominated for Best Actor at the 16th HK Film Awards for his work in Peter Chan’s "Comrades: Almost a Love Story", later winning an award for his work in Chan’s "Three: Going Home".

Lai is also starring in the upcoming mainland production "The Matrimony" from director Hua-Tao Teng, due to be released next year.
