# Zhang Xinxiang

Zhang Xinxiang (born Teo Boon Seong on 27 April 1967), formerly known as Zhang Wenxiang, is a Singaporean actor and businessman.

## Early life and career

The eldest son in his family, Zhang began acting in 1989 − his first full-time job after completing his mandatory military service. He went through Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC)'s auditions and attended their training classes while juggling a side job as a waiter for a few months before being offered a two-year contract by SBC. He left the TV station in 1995 to focus on his mini-mart business and returned to sign a two-year contract with the station in 2004. He has since become a freelancer.
Zhang owns the boutique shop Nana, with its outlets located in the malls The Arcade and International Plaza.

## Personal life

In April 1991, Zhang married his girlfriend of 4 years, Zheng Xiuzhu, at the age of 24. They have two children. Preferring to keep a low profile outside of his acting career in later years, Zhang has declined to talk more about his family in interviews, citing that he is "more than happy to talk about [his] work or projects and [doesn't] think people are interested to know about [his] personal life anyway".
Zhang formerly used the Chinese stage name 张汶祥 (Zhāng Wénxiáng). In late 2016, Zhang changed his Chinese stage name to Zhang Xinxiang (张信祥).
