The nominees are determined by a team of judges employed by Mediacorp; winners are selected by a majority vote from the entire judging panel.

Since its inception, the award has been given to 10 actors. Chen Hanwei is the most recent winner in this category for his role in The Gentlemen. Since the ceremony held in 2017, Chen and Xie Shaoguang remain as the only actors to win in this category five times, surpassing Li who has three wins.
