Chin Han (actor, born 1969)

Ng Chin Han (Chinese: 黄经汉; pinyin: Huáng Jīnghàn; born 27 November 1969) is a Singaporean stage, film, and television actor whose career has spanned more than 20 years.

In 1994, Chin Han had a leading role in Masters of the Sea, the first full-length English drama series to be produced in Singapore.

In 1998, he made his US film debut in Blindness, an Official Selection at the 2nd Hollywood Film Festival in a leading role opposite Vivian Wu. Soon after, he starred in the Singapore mini-series Alter Asians which won the 2001 Asian Television Award for Best TV Movie of the Year.

As a director, he has helmed acclaimed Asian premieres of plays like David Hare's The Blue Room and co-produced the official musical adaptation of Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet.

As a producer, Chin Han has also created concerts for Tony Award winners Jason Robert Brown, Cady Huffman and Lillias White in Asia. In Los Angeles, he served as Associate Producer (credited as Chin Han Ng) on the 2006 Asian Excellence Awards that featured stars like Jackie Chan, Maggie Q, Quentin Tarantino and Danny DeVito.

Returning to the big screen, his strong supporting performance in Thom Fitzgerald's 3 Needles with Lucy Liu, Sandra Oh and Chloe Sevigny led one movie reviewer to note that for his 'small but important role, (Chin Han) delivers in SPADES' (I-S Magazine).

In 2008, Chin Han co-starred as Lau in the summer blockbuster movie The Dark Knight and was described by director Christopher Nolan as having 'a great presence... it was exactly what the character required' (South China Morning Post). The following year, he joined John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Woody Harrelson in Roland Emmerich's epic disaster movie 2012, which grossed more than $750 million worldwide.

Chin Han then worked with Oscar-nominated director Gus Van Sant on the film Restless, produced by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, and official selection for the 64th Cannes Film Festival's Un Certain Regard Opening Gala Film. The film also starred Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper.
