Timmy Ong

Timmy Ong is an actor, singer, and dancer. He hails from Malaysia but is now based in New York. He has worked professionally in Malaysia across the board, from theater, musical theater, dance theatre, opera, to film and TV, and in multiple languages. He is fluent in English, Malay, Mandarin and Cantonese. He is now looking to expand his career in New York City.

He is interested in material that intersects race, class, sex and gender, and roles that make him examine his intersectionality, positionality, and personhood. He enjoys the process of developing new works, and has originated many roles in theater and musical theater, including Gopal in Xuan Zang: Journey to the West (featured in the OCR), Ah Cheng in Di Zang the Musical (featured in the OCR and performed in Mandarin), Father Breton in Euphrasia The Musical, Josh Cagan in a whodunit play The Retreat, Jason anak Robert in a Malay coming-of-age play Kelas Tambahan (translates to "Extra Class"), and most recently, Harriet in a surrealist play Isabel.

Other theatrical credits include Yuan Fan-Shen in an English adaptation of a Taiwanese play Dress In Code, Prince Edward V in Richard III, Mercutio in Romeo & Juliet, Simeonov-Pishchik in The Cherry Orchard, and Iokanaan in Salome. Credits in cross-disciplinary and devised work include Musicircus (concept by John Cage), The Art of Change, and Divine Contradiction.

When he is not performing, he likes writing/creating his own work, often cross- and multi-disciplinary, under a writing duo named The Green-Eyed Monster Project. Or, he plays in the kitchen, adding his own twists to ordinary dishes, because recipes are just guidelines.
