Romeo Tan (born Tan Romeo on 9 April 1985) is a Singaporean actor, who has been named as one of the 8 Dukes of Caldecott Hill. Tan came into prominence after finishing in fourth place on the tenth season of the talent search series Star Search in 2010.
Romeo Tan made his television debut on the fourth season of Heartlanders in 2005.
In 2010, after completing his filming for The Best Things in Life, Tan participated in the tenth season of Star Search. He auditioned for the competition and was accepted for the competition. Tan finished in fourth place, losing the title to Jeffrey Xu. He was offered a two-year contract by MediaCorp together with Xu, Adeline Lim, Sora Ma, James Seah, and Darryl Yong. In 2012, Romeo Tan was the first among his fellow Star Search finalists to be given a supporting role in the critically acclaimed police procedural series C.L.I.F.. He was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at Star Awards 2012 for his performance, but lost the award to Kate Pang. He was then given a role in the star-studded drama series Joys of Life and made a career breakthrough in which he played a role as an antagonist for the first time. His performance was well-received from the public, and was widely regarded as one of the current rising stars. He was given another leading role in Don't Stop Believin', which he played a role of Jin Zhengnan, a charming chef who experienced a love triangle with Du Siman (Felicia Chin) and Wu Yanbin (Elvin Ng). He later also appeared in the year-end blockbuster, It Takes Two as the Fish Prince. In 2013, Romeo Tan replaced Dai Xiang Yu, who was originally selected to play the role of Hong Khee Leong, as the male lead in the drama series Sudden. He was also one of the original singers of the theme song of the drama series, together with Da Feng Chui.
In May 2020, Tan revealed on his social media account that he had purchased an apartment unit at Marina One Residences, a condominium development which is located at the Central Business District (CBD) in Singapore. The media estimated the unit to cost at least S$1.67 million. Prior to that, Tan had lived in a four-room HDB flat in Simei with seven of his family members; including his parents, his two brothers, his sister-in-law, his nephew and niece. He also had to share a room with his younger brother since young. Hence, Tan often stayed over at the semi-detached house of his actor friend Elvin Ng, as it was nearer to Mediacorp's former and current studios at Caldecott Hill and one-north, and to have a quiet environment to memorise his lines.
