Carlos Chan Ka-lok entered entertainment through a singing contest run by Emperor Entertainment Group, initially signing as a singer before transitioning to acting. Born 12 October 1986 in Hong Kong, he made his onscreen debut in the film Connected (2008) with a minor role, spending years in small parts across various productions. His breakthrough came when he joined the newly founded HKTV, where he earned recognition for his lead role as Chung Lok-tin in Incredible Mama (2015). That same year, he portrayed the main villain in director Dante Lam's sports film To the Fore (2015), cementing his shift toward more substantial roles. Chan's defining moment arrived with Happiness (2016), where he played Chan Kai-yuk, the film's sole male lead—a performance that earned him Best Supporting Actor at the 7th Golden Lotus Awards. Following this breakthrough, he became a fixture in Hong Kong cinema, starring as the lead and titular character in the TVB series Daddy Cool (2018). He also appeared in the web series The Trading Floor (2018), earning Best Newcomer at the 24th Huading Awards. His later work expanded into romance films, with lead roles in Ready or Knot (2021) and Ready or Rot (2023), while supporting roles in crime thrillers like The White Storm 2: Drug Lords (2019), Bodies at Rest (2019), Detective vs Sleuths (2022), and The Goldfinger (2023) demonstrated his range. In 2026, Chan received a Best Actor nomination at the 44th Hong Kong Film Awards for Someone Like Me (2025).
