The
Star Awards for Favourite Male Character category was introduced in 2010, at the 16th Star Awards ceremony;
Nat Ho received the award for his role in
The Dream Catchers. Prior to 2012, the nominees were determined by a team of judges employed by Mediacorp. The rule was removed in 2012 to allow the public to determine the nominees entirely via online voting. Winners are selected by a majority vote from the public. The award was discontinued from 2017, along with the
Favourite Female Character and
Favourite Onscreen Couple (Drama) awards. In 2022, the award was revived but came under a new name called
Favourite Male Show Stealer. Since its inception, the award was given to five actors.
Richie Koh is the most recent winner in this category for his role in
Your World In Mine.
Elvin Ng and
Xu Bin have won this category thrice with Xu receiving six nominations, more than any other actor.
Aloysius Pang and
Romeo Tan hold the record for the most nominations without a win, with four. ==Recipients==
