賈思樂,一位來自澳門的土生葡人,於1974年當地的粵華中學畢業後,離澳往港開展他人生旅程中的新一頁。
在港初期,他曾參加當時TVB為發掘新一代歌星而製作的〈聲寶之夜〉節目歌唱比賽,憑一曲Cliff Richard原唱的"Congratulations"晋身決賽階段,惜最後未能獲得前三名的位置。
1976年,他獲當年任TVB節目編導及同樣來自澳門同校的學長甘國亮所賞識,加入TVB成為合約藝員,並在甘國亮編導的〈少年十五二十時〉劇集中担男主角,初試蹄聲。而該劇的其他演員,記憶中有殷巧兒、杜琪峰、林奕華、吳孟達、吳浣儀、余安安、何貴林、李志中、羅志強、苗嘉麗、梁碧玲等,還有兩位可愛的童星鄭大衛及鄭麗麗。同年五月,TVB推出了一系列由他與森森、斑斑姊妹及李振輝(Robert Lee)合作演出的〈四樂士特輯〉歌唱節目,大大提高了他的知名度,亦憑此獲EMI簽約成為旗下歌星,於該年下旬至1979年間灌錄了合共四張個人歐西歌曲LP,其中一張是與May Cheng鄭寶雯合錄。

除了在歌視圈的發展外,賈思樂在1978至1979年間,也曾往台灣拍了三部由當年著名導演丁善璽執導的電影〈永恆的愛〉、〈小小世界妙妙妙〉及〈我愛芳鄰〉,全都是與恬妞分任男女主角,並為當地的海山唱片公司灌錄了一張與電影〈我愛芳鄰〉同名的十二吋長壽唱片專輯。

1985年,在港拍了他至今唯一當男主角的港產片〈摸錯骨〉,女主角是當年的名模古嘉露,但該片的票房成績其差。
可能是基於體型所限,賈思樂始終在娛樂圈中未能有所大突破。大部份的本地觀眾對他的印象,只流於八十年代他在TVB〈歡樂今宵〉節目中的趣劇﹝蝦仔爹哋﹞,扮演着「蝦仔」這角色。但他温純的個人性格, 卻為他在圈內廣結不少善緣。不論是已息影的或是現時還在演出的藝員,如露雲娜、狄寶娜摩亞、陳玉蓮、余綺霞(已故)、鄭裕玲、甘國亮、林奕華、羅慧娟、廖安麗等,皆是他多年的知己好友。至於近年他的個人狀況,筆者除了知道他在2000年代初期在新城電台任DJ及灌錄了一張個人中文歌曲CD外,其他的已不大清楚了。

請問你:Louie做DJ期間, 曾把一首泰文歌混入英文獨白後播出, 那首歌是甚麼名字? 你有那special version 嗎? 很好聽的.
I remember watching the movie "永恆的愛". There was a song sang by Louie. I can't remember the name or even the melody. Only remember the lyric has something to do with "mama". Anyone knows?? Thanks!
Dear Vince,
Very sorry for the belated response!
The name of the questioned song is "媽媽". MV weblink below....
