It’s still hard to process that Aloysius Pang is no longer with us. He was so young, so fresh-faced, so promising. The actor wasn’t just one of Ch 8’s most gifted young stars. He was one of its most underrated. But we have a feeling that Aloy, as the 28-year-old actor was fondly called by his peers, enjoyed staying under the radar. He wasn’t showy and he didn’t seek the spotlight.
"I know for sure that I will be overshadowed. But I’m not willing to change my character. People may think I am unapproachable and boring, and it can alienate audiences, but there are people who like me for me,” he had told us in 2015. And so, he let his work speak for itself.
