Early life Sham was born in 1990. He aspired to become an actor since primary school after watching the 1995 film Full Throttle, citing his desire to "try different lives". During his school years, he considered himself "deviant", having skipped classes, smoked, and even been arrested once. In 2007, Sham was discovered by film director Heiward Mak on a sports field when Mak was conducting field research for a feature film. This experience strengthened his interest to pursue an acting career, although he faced a two-year hiatus without any film roles, which he attributed to his young age making him unsuitable for many characters.
