Chen Tianwen

Chai Tian Bian or better known as Chen Tianwen (Chinese: 陈天文; Wade–Giles: Ch'en2 T'ien1 Wen2) is a Singaporean veteran actor. He starred in many Mandarin dramas throughout the 1990s, and his film credits include the Cannes Film Festival award-winning Ilo Ilo, the Ah Boys to Men trilogy: Ah Boys to Men, Ah Boys to Men 2 and Ah Boys to Men 3: Frogmen. He also acted in The Lion Men, The Lion Men: Ultimate Showdown and Mr. Unbelievable.

Chen was educated at the now defunct Serangoon Garden Secondary Technical School. He joined the SBC after completing the 5th artiste drama training class and made his debut in 1984. He holds a black belt in taekwondo and his martial arts background led him to being cast in many wuxia dramas in the 1990s and as characters with fight scenes in other drama series. He is also a member of the Singapore Celebrity Soccer Team.

The Straits Times remarked that Chen's "much-praised understated turn" as Teck in the Cannes Film Festival award-winning "Ilo Ilo" 爸妈不在家 once again put Chen in the spotlight.
