  • Actor
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Rayve Tay is a Los Angeles-based Singaporean American actor, singer, host and comedian. He is known for creating wildly unpredictable film characters.

A survivor of a horrific traffic accident, Rayve began his performing life as the frontman of Singaporean hard rock outfit, Turn The Tap, before starting his acting career with famed children's theater group, Act 3 Theatrics. He then decided to hone his craft by studying Musical Theatre.

In 2012, he was selected to participate in the prestigious Robert Wilson Watermill International Summer Program in New York and played the charismatic Hanschen Rilow in the Pangdemonium's 2012 production of "Spring Awakening" to critical acclaim. And, upon his return from the US, he was cast in National Broadway Company, directed by acclaimed director Ong Keng Sen, featuring Singapore's brightest young talents of the decade. In 2013, he snagged the romantic lead role Shi Jun Mai in the 2013 blockbuster musical Glass Anatomy alongside Chinese singing star, Della Ding Dang.

On screen, he was first known to the public as the prominent face of the award-nominated KOKA Instant Noodles commercial, which was soon followed by advertising campaigns for Garnier Men, Kit Kat, Harvey Norman, Heaven & Earth and Starhub. Rayve gained a Best Lead Actor Nomination in the 2012 FiRST Film Festival for "Paper Plane." Rayve played the prominent role of Sham the Adventure Boy in the hit children's television series, CLUB M.A.G.I.C, for three seasons before bagging the role of Inspector Lee Boon Ping in the Mediacorp crime series "Mata Mata," striking a lasting impression with the Singaporean public audience. He then played the famously eccentric Singaporean lawyer, Josephus Tan, in the 2014 law series "Verdict". Known for remarkable versatility and commitment to his craft, he added another notable character to his portfolio with his portrayal of Ang Mo Beng in the 2016 indie cult favorite, Sam Loh's "Siew Lup."

In 2014, he moved to be based in Hong Kong and China and in 2016 and starred in the epic Chinese-Korean war movie "Azalea". In 2017, he made his first appearance in a major Hong Kong film in the leading box office success Shock Wave with Andy Lau and Jiang Wu. It was directed by prolific Hong Kong director Herman Yau. Bringing his magnetic personality to the fore in a different capacity, he was the host of the 2018 documentary "What's Your Art?" directed by acclaimed Russian director Maxim Bessmertny.

He moved to be based in Los Angeles, California in 2019 and has since starred in the superhero action comedy pilot, The Villains, alongside Eric Roberts. He is a recurring character on the hit Brat TV teen series Sunnyside Up.

Rayve is known for creating compelling and iconic characters. He champions environmental sustainability and is passionate about supporting at-risk/disadvantaged youths.
