[edit] Early life

Chen grew up and lived in Kampung Ungku Mohsin, Johor Bahru. Born into a poor family, Chen nonetheless excelled academically and studied at one of the most famous Chinese independent schools in Malaysia, Foon Yew High School. In addition to excelling in his studies, Chen was also outstanding in drama and music.

In 1988, a friend enrolled Chen in the inaugural season of Singapore Broadcasting Corporation's bi-annual talent contest, Star Search. Chen made it to the finals, and was offered a contract. As his family was unable to pay for his further studies, he decided to take the job at SBC.

While mildly successful during his early years as an actor, his popularity soared after his role as Fang Ansheng (better known as Fang Lao Shi or Teacher/Mr Fang) in the 1995 TV drama serial, The Morning Express.

In 1997, Chen took a three-year break from acting in order to explore image styling. He returned to the screen in 2000 and continues to be one of the most prolific artistes in MediaCorp.

Chen has proven to be one of the most versatile artiste. His ability to create different images and act different roles be they ugly or handsome, good or evil, serious or funny, able or handicapped has won him accolades and acting nomination and awards. He won the Best Actor Award in the Star Awards for the year 2001 and 2005.

Other than his acting, Chen is also known for recording the theme songs to several drama series, including both Morning Express and Cupid Love. The theme song for the latter, Guan Huai Fang Shi (关怀方式), remain popular in both Singapore and Malaysia to this day.
