Henry Thia (Chinese: 程旭辉; pinyin: Chéng Xùhuī; Wade–Giles: Ch'eng2 Hsu4 Hui1; born 25 February 1952), also known as Chinese: 辉哥; pinyin: Huīgē, is a Singaporean actor and comedian.

Career[]

Thia was a member of the main cast of Comedy Nite throughout its run.[1] Although he had many roles in various sketches, his most memorable role is probably Lion King in the sketch series Liang Ximei.[1] He made a transition to English television in 2004, where he played the recurring role of Georgie Gan in Police & Thief.[1]

Thia is also known to the public for his strikingly similar looks to Singaporean politician Khaw Boon Wan, a fact he often acknowledges by jokingly referring to Khaw as his twin.[2]
