Connected (film) - Cast and Characters

Cast and Characters

• Louis Koo (古天樂) plays Bob, a debt collector, and single father whose life has fallen apart after his wife leaves him and her son behind. After a successful, previous collaboration with the 2006 film Rob-B-Hood, Koo was director Benny Chan’s first choice to play the role of Bob, a role the actor described as the most difficult in the film.

• Barbie Hsu (徐熙媛) plays Grace Wong, the female protagonist who is kidnapped. Grace is a widowed single mother, who owns a successful toy designing company. Hsu, a Taiwanese actress who appears in her first Hong Kong film, expressed her interest on her character overcoming her vulnerability: “The character I play is a victim throughout. After being kidnapped and imprisoned, she even has to witness someone being killed. It’s all very frightening. Yet, I like this character a lot because she manages to piece together a shattered phone to make a call, under such difficult circumstances.”
