The actor is a hot favourite to go home with a trophy for his widely lauded acting in the drama Your World In Mine at the upcoming Star Awards 2023. Does he think he’ll win? And, wait – is “Richie” his real name?
Even while actor Richie Koh was in the initial stages of filming for the drama Your World In Mine, in which he plays a 21-year-old with the intellectual age of a seven-year-old, people were already telling him he was a shoo-in to be nominated for Best Actor at the Star Awards 2023.
It's also earned Best Actress gongs for both Huang Biren and Hong Ling; Best Supporting Actress nods for Xiang Yun and Lina Ng; and a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Zhu Hou Ren.Koh and Ng are also up against Qi Yuwu, Brandon Wong and Ayden Sng for the Best Actor trophy. Winners will be announced at the ceremony on Apr 9 at Marina Bay Sands.
While he’s frank about wanting to win – it is his first Best Actor nomination, after all – “it’s hard to continue if you keep thinking of winning acclaim and awards. You don't act for awards – you're trying to tell a story, right?” In 2018, “when I was nominated for Best Newcomer, a lot of people said I would win, also. I felt some pressure because everyone was saying that to me. I was a bit sad when I didn’t get it, lah. Then I thought, ‘Yeah, maybe I should appreciate their thoughts but not take it to heart. The higher the hopes, the higher the disappointment!”
“I hope to win, because I don't know when my next opportunity to be nominated will come. Then again, if I don’t win, I won't put too much pressure on myself.”Well, if he doesn’t, we’ll eat our hat. Meanwhile, as we wait to see who will take those shiny, new Star Awards trophies home on Apr 9, here are some things you didn’t know about Richie Koh, from his favourite carbohydrate to how he really feels about snails.My real name is Zong Yong. I haven't shared this with anyone.
