Career

He shot to prominence after winning Star Search 2007 and earned a contract with Mediacorp. He was given his first television roles the following year, most notably in the blockbuster period drama The Little Nyonya. Since then he has starred in many high-profile television dramas such as Unriddle, C.L.I.F., Code of Honour, Joys of Life, The Journey (trilogy series) and The Lead.
In August 2015, Chen played the lead role in the Mandarin musical, December Rains, by Toy Factory Productions. It was his first theatrical performance.
Chen was nominated for 3 categories at Star Awards 2017, which are Best Actor for If Only I Could, Best Supporting Actor for Hero & Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes. On 1 November 2017, Chen announced that he will not be renewing his contract with Mediacorp. Chen left Mediacorp on 31 October 2017 with his wife, Kate Pang. His last drama series with Mediacorp was The Lead. He was nominated for Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes at the Star Awards 2018.
