Lim began acting in 1998 after placing second runner-up in the men’s category of Star Search 1997. He was from the same batch that brought Yvonne Lim, Florence Tan, Vincent Ng and Evelyn Tan into showbiz.<\/p>\n
Since then, Lim has mostly played supporting and cameo roles in local series, including Yin Zhiping in Return Of The Condor Heroes (1998), Cai Qingyang in Hainan Kopi Tales (2000), Mingjie in If Tomorrow Comes (2024) and Yes Captain! (2026).<\/p>\n
His role as Boon Kiat in We Are All Strangers marks Lim’s first-ever leading role.<\/p>\n
In a previous interview with Singapore media AsiaOne, Lim shared that he landed the role largely thanks to Mediacorp actress Hong Huifang, who was his acting teacher during Star Search 1997.<\/p>\n
At the time, the casting director for We Are All Strangers, who was also the casting director for Huifang’s 2022 movie Ajoomma, got Lim’s number from the actress.<\/p>\n
Lim recalled being told that Boon Kiat is a hawker who “doesn’t have to be good-looking”, which gave him the confidence to audition for the role.<\/p>\n
“If they are looking for someone good-looking, I wouldn’t even go for the casting call because I have tried so many,” he said.<\/p>\n
The humble actor explained that he thinks he doesn’t look good on screen, but looks like “someone who had very good life experiences” because of his “haggard looks”.<\/p>\n
Guess we can say he was made for this role?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
