Career
Having left school at age 15, Lim began his career as a singer before joining the Television Corporation of Singapore, Mediacorp's predecessor, in the mid-1990s.[1] He joined SPH MediaWorks in 2000 and was transferred back to Mediacorp when both companies merged in 2005.[2][3] Since rejoining Mediacorp, his profile rose considerably and was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor several times, most notably for his role in The Little Nyonya.
Lim left Mediacorp in May 2012 after some 20 years in showbiz to work at his father's business and spend more time with his family.[4][5] He has since returned to acting, but in a freelance capacity.
Personal life
Lim married fellow artiste Evelyn Tan in 2004. Lim left the entertainment industry to help his brother with his business and spend more time with his family.[6][7] The couple has four children named Kristen, Jairus, Way, and Elliot.[8]
