What a corker!

After performing a dozen TV series in the last eight years, Wang Luoyong, the first Asian actor to land a lead role on Broadway, returns to the stage this week as Rochester in Jane Eyre at the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA).

Wang's last stage role was the lead in the Chinese drama Kong Yiji at the Beijing People's Art Theater in 2001. Wang Xiaoying, director of Jane Eyre, commented: "Luoyong as the title role is the only actor that shines. He alone commands the stage."
