WITH CREDITS in critically-acclaimed movies like The Dark Knight and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, as well as hit TV shows that include Fringe, Arrow, and The Blacklist, Ng Chin Han is possibly our country’s most prolific acting export. To local audiences accustomed to the “blink and you’d miss them” cameos of many local actors, his crisp, if recognizably Singaporean, diction steals the scene ‒ whether as Song Dynasty chancellor Jia Sidao in Marco Polo or as millionaire visionary Zhao Long Ji starring opposite Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in Skyscraper. Late April 2021, he “steals souls” interpreting one of movie history’s most iconic villains Tsang Shung, in the HBO remake of Mortal Kombat.
Despite his stellar credentials, Chin Han (as he is known in Hollywood) is reticent, almost reclusive, when it comes to talking about his accomplishments. “Because you don’t have a character to hide behind when you’re doing photo shoots,” he explains. “You don’t have the words, you don’t have the costumes you don’t have the makeup. You’re just you and I’m generally a private person.”
