Acting
After gaining recognition through his commercial work, Tang was contacted by Taiwanese television station GTV for an acting management contract. After reviewing his new career endeavor with his mother, he signed with GTV in 2004 to act in dramas that aired on their network. At first appearing only in minor supporting roles he eventually moved up to main cast roles when he was cast as the villain in 2005 popular idol drama KO One starring opposite Taiwanese boy band Fahrenheit members. He continued his collaboration with the group and their acting management company "Comic International Productions" in idol dramas such as Hanazakarino Kimitachihe, The X-Family, They Kiss Again and Rolling Love.
Originally cast as the main lead in Mysterious Incredible Terminator, the drama production company later switched his role with Fahrenheit member Aaron Yan, which Tang ended up starring as the second male lead in Rolling Love due to Yan suffering an injury. Due to Rolling Love's subpar ratings, as well as feeling overshadowed and under promoted by his acting management company, he eventually left GTV's management in 2011 and signed with Comprise Boundless Entertainment.
After leaving GTV he continued with main supporting roles in Mainland produced dramas. In 2012, Tang landed his first leading role in a major production for newly formed Hong Kong television network HKTV, starring in the idol drama Love in Time playing a 200-year-old vampire who falls in love with a human girl. Tang, who is not fluent in Cantonese, had his voice dubbed over by a voice actor. However, as of current the drama remains un-aired and does not have a set schedule of when it will air due to HKTV unavailability to obtain a free television programme service licence from the Hong Kong government.
In 2013 Tang returned to Taiwan produced dramas by signing an acting contract with local cable station SETTV. His first drama with SETTV was as the second male lead in A Hint of You. The following year he was cast as the male lead in SETTV's weekly drama Fabulous 30. With strong ratings from Fabulous 30, he was once again offered a leading role by SETTV for their 2015 Friday night drama Murphy's Law of Love. Then in 2017, Tang scored a supporting role as Bai Zhou in Chinese drama, Our Boyhood (我们的少年时代), which starred the famous idol boy band, TFBOYS. Tang also had sung the song in 我们的少年时代, 再见安打.
