Peter Yu (born 3 April 1968) is a Singaporean actor. He was one of the finalists from the 1990 Star Search competition, organised by Mediacorp. Yu is known for his starring roles in many Channel 8 series in the 1990s, notably The Great Conspiracy (1993), Love At Last (1994), Tofu Street (1996), The Silver Lining (1997) and From The Medical Files series.[1] In 2016, he played a supporting role in the drama series Hero, in which the character was reportedly partly based on his own life experiences.[2] In 2018, Yu came to renewed attention with A Land Imagined, a critically well received Singaporean film which won the top prize at the Swiss Locarno International Film Festival. Since then, Yu has gone on to appear in a number of films and multiple Mediacorp productions.[3]
