Chin Han began his 20-year career in theater, television and film as a teen actor in classics like Moliere's L'Ecole des femmes and Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.

After a successful ad campaign as the face of Citibank in the early 90s in Asia, he went on to star in Singapore's first English language television series Masters of the Sea produced by ex-Lorimar exec Joanne Brough (Dallas, Falcon Crest).

A spin-off series Troubled Waters was to follow, which he also starred in.

In 1998 Chin Han made his US film debut in Blindness an Official Selection at the 2nd Hollywood Film Festival in a leading role opposite Vivian Wu (Peter Greenaway's The Pillow Book) and Joe Lando (Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman).

In 1999, he starred in the Singapore mini-series 'Alter Asians' which won the 2001 Asian Television Award for Best TV Movie of the Year.

Returning to the big screen, his recent strong supporting performance in Thom Fitzgerald's (The Hanging Garden) 3 Needles with Lucy Liu, Sandra Oh, and Chloe Sevigny led a movie reviewer to note that for his 'small but important role, (Chin Han) delivers in spades' (I-S Magazine).
