Chen Bolin (traditional Chinese: ; simplified Chinese: ; pinyin: Chén Bólín; Cantonese Yale: Chan Pak Lam; born 27 August 1983) is a Taiwanese actor. Chen was awarded Best Actor for In Time with You at the 47th Golden Bell Awards in 2012, Taiwan's equivalent to the Emmy Awards.
He began his career as a model in his late teenage years. At the age of 19, he had his first head role in the Taiwanese movie Blue Gate Crossing (2002). In 2004, he started filming movies in Hong Kong. Twins Effect 2: Blade of the Rose was his first, in which he played the money-mad Blockhead, adopted brother of Charcoal Head (played by Jaycee Chan).
In April 2011, Chen started filming Taiwanese drama In Time with You (Chinese: 我可能不會愛你), co-starring Ariel Lin, directed by Qu You-ning (瞿友寧) and produced by Gala Television (GTV).
In 2015, Chen signed with BM+ Entertainment, in preparation for his advance into the Korean entertainment industry.
