Ng Chin Han talks about his role in the latest Batman flick "The Dark Knight".

SINGAPORE : He is well-known in the local arts scene, having began his 20-year career in theatre, television and film as a teen actor.

Now Singapore actor Ng Chin Han has snagged a role in the next Batman movie “The Dark Knight” which is set to hit cinemas in July next year.

Working with big names like Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger and Gary Oldman, Chin Han admits that he does feel a little pressure but the actors are very professional. “That’s the great part about working with these guys. And they obviously come with a great body of work and that’s very exciting for me.”

The audition process was long and grueling, and took about six to eight weeks before everything was set and inked. And it being a Hollywood blockbuster, everything was top secret.

“The scripts that they let you read for the auditions are not the scripts for the exact film movie because everything’s so top secret. You get scripts that are printed on special paper that cannot be photocopied, there are invisible watermarks, all kinds of things. You feel like a spy in a James Bond movie when you are looking at these scripts.”

Even though he’s landed a role in a Hollywood blockbuster, Chin Han’s not turning his back on theatre.

“Theatre is wonderfully exciting, it’s very organic. You have an audience… It might sound like a cliché but there’s nothing like seeing the smiles on the face of an audience at the end of the play or musical. I think that’s very fulfilling.” - CNA
