After a five-year hiatus from acting, Thomas Ong is making a return to our TV screens in the upcoming Mediacorp series I Believe I Can Fly. The 55-year-old actor initially hesitated due to insecurities about his appearance and concerns about playing younger characters. However, he was eventually convinced by the role's relatable age and experiences, as well as encouragement from co-star Chen Hanwei.

Speaking to Shin Min Daily News in a recent interview, he shared how this had been one of the factors holding him back from returning to acting. Thomas was soon convinced, however, after the producer revealed that the "fun part" about the role was that he would be playing someone who's around his actual age, with relatable life experiences.
"Perhaps because the story and role are more aligned to my age group, it's more comfortable and I was able to immerse myself in the character within two to three days," said Thomas.
