Bryan Wong Lok Kiang (born 30 January 1971) is a Singaporean television host, actor and businessman.[1]

Career

[edit]

Wong began his career as a child actor in 1981 and featured in several popular children's programmes on SBC.[2] He began performing modelling assignments and commercials while still a teenager. In 1994, he joined Television Corporation of Singapore as a full-time artiste after a short stint as an interior designer. Although his first hosting role was for the teenage lifestyle programme Gen Y, it was the infotainment programme City Beat during the late 1990s that first exposed him to television audiences. While his co-hosts Kym Ng and Sharon Au were winning awards at the annual Star Awards, he was not well received by the general public. He later stated that he had planned to resign several times but did not have a choice as he had to support his family.[3] In 2000, he and several fellow artistes left TCS to join the newly formed SPH MediaWorks.[4] While with MediaWorks, he became known for co-hosting Channel U's popular talent-search show Snap with Ng and their partnership was praised by audiences.[5] He was nominated for Best Entertainment Presenter at the 2002 Asian Television Awards. In 2005, MediaCorp (successor of TCS) absorbed MediaWorks and he was one of nineteen artistes transferred over.

As an actor, Wong is a recognised face in mainland China after starring in a number of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan productions while with SPH MediaWorks, most notably in Eternity: A Chinese Ghost Story and the wuxia series Chinese Paladin. He played the main lead role in MediaWorks' final drama series Zero and also starred in Honour and Passion opposite Tay Ping Hui, Huang Wenyong and Rui En.

Since returning to MediaCorp, Wong has enjoyed more success as a host. He co-hosted the popular long-running home makeover show Home Decor Survivor (摆家乐) with Mark Lee,[6] for which he won his first hosting award, the Best Variety Show Host award, at the 2006 Star Awards. He won the Favourite Variety Show Host audience poll, beating hot favourite Fann Wong, at the 2012 Star Awards.[3]

In 2019, Wong directed the short film The Playbook which starred Ayden Sng and Sheila Sim.[7]

Ventures

[edit]

He co-owns an interior design firm called Home by Bryan Wong which does not accept walk-in customers.[6]

Personal life

[edit]

Wong grew up in a kampong in Kembangan in 1970s–80s Singapore. He lives with his sister Varilyn "Val" and his mother Margaret in an apartment in Bedok.[6]

Wong was educated at Tanjong Katong Secondary Technical School, where he first discovered an interest in "do it yourself" interior designing and carpentry.[6]
