Timeline
George Young (born George Ng; 29 February 1980) is an English actor, writer, and television presenter based in Singapore and Taiwan.
The eldest of four brothers, Young was born on Leap Day 1980 in London, England to a Malaysian Chinese father and Greek Cypriot mother.
He was educated at Winchester College and studied acting in New York before receiving his degree in psychology from the University of Southampton, and then a law degree at the University of Westminster and The College of Law.
Although Young completed his solicitor traineeship in the City of London law firm, and is a fully qualified solicitor for the Supreme Court of England and Wales, he gave this up to pursue his love of acting.
Young began his career in entertainment in the United Kingdom, appearing in BBC's Casualty and subsequently filming his first feature role in the Bollywood film Jhootha Hi Sahi.
After filming several TV commercials in Taiwan and Thailand, and a music video with Ariel Lin, Young made an appearance on Travel and Living Channel (TLC), taking a guest co-hosting spot alongside Janet Hsieh on the show Fun Taiwan.
He has subsequently been credited as a script writer for the show.
In 2011, Young hosted Million Dollar Money Drop: Singapore Edition which premiered on National Day on MediaCorp Channel 5.

The season premiered on 18 August 2011.
After studying Mandarin for less than a year, Young filmed two Mediacorp Mandarin-language dramas concurrently: Yours Fatefully and Joys of Life, for MediaCorp Channel 8.
In 2012 and 2013, Young partnered with Kiehl's to raise money and awareness for autism.
Young is the eldest of four brothers, two of whom are autistic; raising awareness of autism and raising funds to support those with autism is a cause that he feels strongly about.
"People with autism are just that– people first and foremost, with a condition that is autism...they have hobbies, they have loves, they have passions, but all of it is locked within this condition that is autism. There's no cure for autism at the moment, but with treatments at an early age, their thought potential can be unlocked."
In addition to his charity work, Young has also fronted two government-funded youth campaigns: the anti-drug campaign Dance Works!
2012, sponsored by Central Narcotics Bureau in Singapore, and the Health Promotion Board in Singapore's Bounce Back Stronger campaign for youth resilience.

In 2016, Young and his wife Janet Hsieh co-authored the book "Starting at The End" (Chinese language title: "在世界的盡頭說：我願意").
The book shares their occasionally conflicting stories on how they met, as well as their fifty-day journey through Texas, Argentina, and their wedding in Antarctica.
They have two sons, one born in 2017 and the other in 2021.
In 2018, Young wrote, directed, and starred alongside his wife Janet Hsieh in a short film on autism titled Home.
