Benjamin Tan (born 27 March 1993)[1][2] is a Singaporean actor known for his roles in the television dramas My Guardian Angels, Mister Flower, When Duty Calls 2, Soul Doctor, The Heartland Hero, Emerald Hill High and Strike Gold.[3]
Tan has been signed to Mediacorp since May 2019.[4]
Tan appeared in Emerald Hill High and played as a slow-learner ah beng in Lion Mums 3 in 2019, and played a slow-witted young man in the long-form series The Heartland Hero in 2021.[5]
On 13 October 2022, Tan wrote a lengthy post on his public Instagram account where he voiced his displeasure about an unnamed colleague who also appeared in the 2023 drama series Strike Gold. Tan described the person as "kinda disrespectful to [the] crew and the production as a whole.” Tan further claimed that the individual was "almost always late for shoots, and never apologetic for their tardiness." Tan also hinted at the individual's identity, saying that the individual has taken on a smaller role compared with their past projects.[15][16]
In an interview with Lianhe Zaobao on 10 January 2023, Tan admitted that the strongly-worded Instagram post had caused trouble for the Strike Gold crew as well as "affected innocent people". However, Tan insisted that it was "right to point out the problems" and further hinted that the person he was targeting at was not present at Strike Gold's media press conference. AsiaOne went on to report that artistes who attended the conference were Desmond Tan, He YingYing, Yao Wenlong, Yvonne Lim (who attended virtually), Jin Yinji, Kiki Lim, Hong Huifang and Jeffrey Xu.[17]
