Joshua Ang bids farewell to showbiz
Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Following the likes of Jesseca Liu, Felicia Chin and Nat Ho, MediaCorp rising star Joshua Ang will be leaving showbiz as well!


The drama Unriddle will be Joshua's swansong as he will not be extending contract with MediaCorp when it expires at the end of July.
Over an exclusive telephone interview, Joshua talked about the reasons for leaving and his future plans with xinmsn.

The 21-year-old revealed that he actually has a recycling business outside of his acting stint.

"I chose not to extend the contract (with MediaCorp) to concentrate on my recycling business, which is a venture I went in with my friend.
"It's not that I'm unhappy with the company; neither did the company treat me badly. It's just that since I'm still young, I want to try new things."

10 years ago, audience was introduced to a young new actor named Joshua Ang in Jack Neo's I Not Stupid. After working in Jack's JTeam for a few years, Joshua switched to become a full time MediaCorp actor two years ago.

His performance in these two years has been nothing short of impressive.
Besides nomination for Star Award's Top Ten Most Popular Male Artiste earlier this year, his turn as Jeanette Aw's slow-witted brother in New Beginnings received positive reviews too.
With his career moving along smoothly, did Joshua choose to quit because the company appeared to be putting their focus on Dai Yang Tian and Elvin Ng?
"No no of course not! We play different roles; I take on younger roles, the parts we play differ too."
"I don't have Dai Yang Tian and Elvin Ng's looks and height, how can I measure up? I only have my confidence, which is what I depend on to do my job well."
Joshua's mother passed away last year due to a heart attack. The actor revealed that this sudden change of circumstances caused him to make up his mind about what to do if he leaves showbiz.
"It's impossible for me to further my studies overseas now. My younger brother is going to be enlisted in army soon and I need to take care of him."
He added that from now on, he will be concentrating on running his business and taking care of his brother and father.
When asked if there might be a chance that he might return to the screen, Joshua said that he will remain open to such opportunities if there is a suitable script and provided his business will not be affected by filming
