Undisputably the king of acting, Shao has proven again and again that he is the reigning Best Actor title-holder in the annual Star Awards, an award ceremony for TV personalities. 1995 was an exhilarating year for Shao when he won The Best Supporting Actor Award and Top 5 Most Popular Male Artistes Award in Star Awards. The following year, Shao scored a hat trick when he swept the awards in the Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and the Top 5 Most Popular Male Artistes Award. Since then, Shao has been consistently voted as one of the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes.

He regained his back-to-back win in the Best Actor category with his performance in Stand By Me (1998) and Stepping Out (1999). His uncanny portrayal of a paraplegic in Stand By Me reaped praises from audiences and critics alike, and even won him the Best Actor Award in Asian Television Awards '98.

The London-trained theatrical actor is highly respected for his character roles. He has a strong following despite the fact that he usually portrays villains, cranks or psychopaths. Shao's professionalism and perfection in his acting skills have helped him gain recognition from every Singaporean. With his intense gaze and tenacity, Shao is the next person to look out for in the silverscreen.
