Wong gained a degree in philosophy from the University of Alberta in Canada. Since then he has starred in television dramas and films, and recorded his own album. Dayo had his TVB debut in 1999, acting as "Lai Sam" in "Justice Sung 2".
A year later, he reached a milestone of his career.
lieutenant is when his flame reached his highest point. He was so close to the "television King" Award (The Best Actor Award).
He was on the nomination list of the award in both 2007 and 2009. He was finally crowned as television King with "Bounty Lady" in 2013.
To Dayo, the award was an accumulative result of his TVB dramas.
He also revealed that his relationship with Chilam were like cousins. In that year, Chilam Cheung started as the clear favourite of the audience due to his absolute popularity starring as Captain Cool in "Triumph in the Skies 2". Though Chilam ended up winning the Most Popular Male Character, he sounded disappointed in his acceptance speech (the price is widely recognised as a consolation prize to The Best Actor Award).
Chilam did not stay behind the ceremony for the TVB official interview.
He explained that he was not informed to stay behind for any interview. The discord rumours between Chilam and Dayo begin to spread out widely.
However, the rumour was shot down when Chilam surprised Dayo by his sudden appearance at a meal gathering of the Bounty Lady. Besides the TVB drama career, Dayo is also well known to be a stand-up comedian.
Unlike Northern American stand-up comedians, his jokes usually includes a lot of political and philosophical content, which brings up a high level of consonant among audience.
"Hong Kong"s housing issue is absolutely ridiculous. I have discussed this in my stand-up shows too. Hong Kong residents need to have 13 to 14 times their current annual salary to finally be qualified for home ownership." said the comedian.
Up to 2013, he has done as much as thirteen shows.
Seven of them were also performed in Australia, Canada and the United States. Dayo"s latest talk show was performed on October 2014.
A month later, the show was brought to Canada and the United States as well. In comparison with his stand-up comedy and television dramas, his movies are not as successful.
When being asked the reasons behind, he explained that his ultimate goal is to look for something new in his movies.
His visions makes his work good to watch, but it is not good enough to attract people to pay for a cinema ticket. The second reason is that he hates doing promotion for his work.
Dayo as a lazy office assistant in a law firm in War of the Gender, winning the My Favourite Television Character Award in 2002. 2004 was a fruitful year for Dayo as it was when he won two awards: the My Favourite On-Screen Partners (with Ada Choi in "Catch the Uncatchable") and again, the My Favourite Television Character Award (also in "Catch the Uncatchable").
He introduced stand up comedy to Hong Kong. He has done thirteen stand up comedy routines so far, mainly targeting local Hong Kongnese.
