Some of his other known film appearances include Johnnie To's Election film series (2005-2006), Exiled (2006) and Mad Detective (2007).
In 2009, Lam made his debut as a producer for Gallants, which won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Film as well as the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards for Best Film. Lam went on to producer the 2015 film, Get Outta Here, which he also wrote the story for.
