Pierre Png
Talent-spotted from Forever Fever, a critically acclaimed local movie, Pierre Png made his entry into the entertainment circle by winning Fame Awards in 1998, Singapore’s nationwide talent quest on MediaCorp’s Channel 5. With his winsome boy-next-door good looks, Pierre was one of CLEO magazine’s Most Eligible Bachelors and Female magazine’s Most Gorgeous Hunk in 1999.
A versatile actor, Pierre demonstrates his comedic talent in the award winning sitcom PCK Pte Ltd, as that of the hapless but earnest yuppie architect and brother of PCK. In Money, a landmark English TV series shot on film, Pierre charms TV viewers as the protagonist Sonny, a yuppie stockbroker. In 2001, Pierre made his debut on Channel 8 with the Chinese epic drama based on World War II, In Pursuit Of Peace as a student changed by the brutality of war.
Pierre has since gone from strength to strength in movies following Forever Fever. Heading Raintree Pictures’ first English movie, Chicken Rice War as a modern day Romeo, this flavourful movie represented Singapore in the prestigious Los Angeles Film Festival. In The Eye, Pierre played a Thai doctor and the film horrified audiences to a respectable $14m box office in Hong Kong and $1m in Singapore at its first week release. He was invited to play another lead movie role in Somchai’s in Nothing To Lose, a dark dramedy directed by the acclaimed Pang Brothers as a compulsive gambler.
As Pierre continues his meteoric rise to fame, he took on new challenges when a lead role in Rouge, MTV’s first-ever regional TV drama series beckons him to venture into new territories. Watch out for Pierre as he continues to make waves across the region. In 2007, Pierre ventured into the China market with his first Chinese drama co-production, acting alongside Taiwanese artiste Ruby Lin.
In 2014 Pierre won 2 “Best Actor” awards in Star Awards and the 19th Annual Asian Television Awards, the region's most prestigious industry award. It looks like nothing is going to stop this affable and passionate actor from making greater strides in the entertainment scene.
Pierre took on another challenge in 2016 by doing his first-ever Mandarin musical, Mulan.
In 2018, he made his Hollywood debut in the hit rom-com Crazy Rich Asians as Michael Teo.
In 2020, Pierre took a big step to direct his first short film "The Right Time" that is telecast on TV and MeWatch.
