Veteran actor says filming comeback drama The Gift Of Time was easier than in his heyday
It may have been Xie Shaoguang’s first acting gig in 20 years, but getting into the swing of things came easily to the veteran Singaporean actor.
The 64-year-old exited the entertainment industry in 2005. In the intervening years, he left Singapore and became a monk and chef, before making his comeback in September 2024.
At a press event at Oasis Bistro & Cafe in Redhill on Oct 9, the award-winning thespian told The Straits Times: “It is my profession. I just slip into it quite naturally.”
He plays a wealthy but lonely entrepreneur in the upcoming Channel 8 drama The Gift Of Time, which premieres on Oct 23 at 9pm. It will be available on mewatch from Oct 20, and also stars Chan Hanwei, Chantalle Ng, Desmond Ng, Xiang Yun and Jeremy Chan.
