Background

His bald head and sinister demeanour in film and TV has made him an ideal villain. He may be more recognisable in western cinema due to his role as the North Korean villain in Night Watch set in Hong Kong where he starred alongside Pierce Brosnan and Alexandra Paul and as Prince Chowfa, King Mongkut's brother (Chow Yun-fat) in Anna and the King.

He appeared in various episodes of the Singapore sitcom Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd as the title character's main rival, Frankie Foo, between 2002 and 2006.

Personal life

His older brother, Lim Kay Tong, is also an actor and well-known television personality in Singapore. Lim was married to Neo Swee Lin on 12 August 1992.[1]
