Veteran actress Zoe Tay, 56, plays the role of a matriarch celebrating her 48th birthday during a scene in Mediacorp's upcoming series, Emerald Hill.SINGAPORE — Veteran local actress Zoe Tay has portrayed mums many times in her three-decade career — but never one this old.
The four cast members playing her children — Shaun Chen, Hsiu Chieh-kai, Romeo Tan and Sheila Sim — are between the ages of 39 and 45. “I have to adjust my tone and reduce my energy to be calmer and more relaxed,” adds the mother of three boys aged 13, 16 and 19.“It’s true that I can play characters way older than 72, but I don’t think Mediacorp will put me only in such roles moving forward. Instead, I think they will give me more opportunities to demonstrate my range in acting if I can handle this role.”
For local actor Tan, 39, treating Tay as a maternal figure comes naturally. Since the start of his career in 2010, he has “always seen her” as one. Before being cast in Emerald Hill, Taiwanese actor Hsiu, 41, had never watched any of Tay’s performances. However, he says his castmates have taught him a lot about the culture, which has helped them bond greatly.
