WHEN actor Shawn Lee takes part in a movie, the most important part to him is seeing the audience's reaction.
The 17-year-old adopted the same attitude when preparing for his 'A' levels: he pictured his parents's applause to his results to motivate himself.
Judging from the four As the Anglo-Chinese Junior College student received on Friday, his parents should indeed be elated.
The actor of I Not Stupid and Homerun fame, scored As in Maths, Economics and Physics and General Paper.
He scored Bs in Chemistry, Project Work and Higher Chinese.
But the good grades have come with sacrifices.
He has been missing from the big screen in the last two years, a decision he made so that he could focus on his studies.
Shawn rejected a couple of roles in movies such as Jack Neo's Love Matters. He had to turn down Mr Neo's offer because the movie was filmed during the his A-level exams week last November.
Shawn said on Friday: 'I would have to commit to a movie for about two months and just could not keep up with the schedule and juggle my studies at the same time.'
