Fresh-out-of-NS EDWIN GOH tells us how his time in the army has mellowed him, his motivation to bulk up and which Ch 8 actor he keeps getting mistaken for.
Zoe Tay sinks into the couch next to Edwin Goh and Chen Shucheng. “He acted in the same show as me seven years ago,” she tells the veteran actor about Edwin, who last worked with her in 2010 movie Love Cuts. “I always mix him up with the other actor,” Shucheng replies. “Who?” Zoe asks. Turns out that Edwin’s doppelganger, or so Shucheng thinks, is none other than fellow Ch 8 actor Shane Pow (more on that later). The very affable Ah Jie turns to Edwin and asks, “You ORD already ah?” A relieved Edwin replies, “I waited very long.”
Indeed, if you’ve been wondering where the up-and-comer vanished to, well, he’s been serving his military service. For Edwin die-hards, it’s been an arduous two-year-long wait for his TV comeback. But no one is happier than the actor himself that the wait is finally over. If you follow Edwin on IG, you’d have seen his posts eagerly counting down the days till he ORDs.
