Aloysius Pang

Aloysius Pang Wei Chong (24 August 1990 – 24 January 2019) was a Singaporean actor once managed under NoonTalk Media, best known for his involvement in multiple Mediacorp dramas.

Pang died on 24 January 2019 at 1:45am NZDT (23 January 2019 at 8:45pm SST) due to serious crush injuries sustained from a military accident while on Operationally Ready National Service reservist training in the Singapore Army, aged 28.

Pang was born in Singapore on 24 August 1990. He had two elder brothers, Jefferson and Kenny. Pang studied in Pei Chun Public School and Yuying Secondary School. In 2012, he graduated from Singapore Institute of Management University with a diploma in management studies.

Pang started acting at the age of nine after he joined an acting class organised by Mediacorp, and starred in children dramas such as My Teacher, My Buddy (1999), Bukit Ho Swee (2002), The Adventures of BBT (2002), A Child's Hope (Season 1, 2003; Season 2, 2004), and I Love My Home (2004). Growing up with the Chinese name of 冯伟忠, Pang later changed the last character of his Chinese name from 忠 to 衷 to reference the old shows he did as a child actor, while retaining its pronunciation. He was nominated for his role as Ding Wei Liang in A Child's Hope in Star Awards 2003 Young Talent Award in Star Awards 2003. He left acting in 2004 after being repeatedly bullied; in a 2015 interview he said he'd "told [Mediacorp] to take my file out and never call [him] again".

In 2012, Pang made his comeback in the lead role of the film Timeless Love, which was directed by Lim Koong Hwee and Singaporean celebrity Dasmond Koh. Pang made his directorial debut in 2014 by directing the music video of Singapore-based singer Gavin Teo's I Understand (我懂了), which also starred Xu Bin and Kimberly Chia.

In 2014, he was named one of the 8 Dukes of Caldecott Hill and went on to win the Best Newcomer at the Star Awards 2015. Pang released his first single "Black Tears" (黑色眼泪) in 2015. It was also announced that Pang would star in Singapore's first cosplay-themed movie, Young & Fabulous. Together with Xu Bin, he also took part in an online variety show produced by NoonTalk Media, called Freshmen (来吧!上课啦!).

From Star Awards 2013 to Star Awards 2016, he was nominated for Favourite Male Character. In Star Awards 2015, he was awarded the Best Newcomer and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor & Rocket. In Star Awards 2016, he won his first award for Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes.

Pang was known for setting aside 10 percent of his pay to thank and bless the production people on set.
