Career Dwe at first wanted to be a singer before becoming an actor, but unexpectedly, he was approached by his uncle Kyaw Hein to help star in a film while studying at Yangon Institute of Technology which started his career as an actor. He first entered the film industry with his real name Htin Lin (ထင်လင်း), but adopted a stage name, to Dwe in 1993. He worked with Kyaw Hein who directed the drug education film 1993's Dukkha Go Ayaung Hso De (ဒုက္ခကို အရောင်ဆိုးတယ်) and another very famous war movie 1994's Wai Le Mhway Kyway Lae Mhway (ဝေလည်းမွှေး၊ ကြွေလည်းမွှေး). Which became a hit with audiences. Under the guidance of his uncle, Academy Kyaw Hein, Dwe became successful in the film industry and later won the 1997 Myanmar Motion Picture Academy Awards for Best Actor in the Leading Role of 1997's A Mae Chay Yar (အမေ့ခြေရာ). Within just a few years he became a superstar who acted in many popular movies and videos, and shot commercials. The last film he acted in was Kambar Tachan Nya - Night of halved world (ကမ္ဘာတစ်ခြမ်းည) which was not finished, directed by Cho Tu Zaw.

He was also successful in the music industry, releasing over 30 songs which included his solo album Tunlin Gwang Abeba (ထွန်းလင်းခွင့်ပေးပါ) and a series of other albums. He has also appeared in a number of popular music series.

Death He was diagnosed with heart disease in 2007. On Wednesday 13 July of the same year around 4:00 pm local time he suddenly died of a heart attack at his home on the Aye Thar Yar Road. According to his close friend Director Aung Myo Min, he died of sleep apnea triggered by regular sleeping pills, not related to any illicit drugs or heroine as some people thought. Dwe was 42 years old at the time of his death. At 4 am on 13 July, at home, he received virtuous deeds from the Ping Sangha and had a water blessing ritual performed. The cremation took place at 5:00 a.m. at the Yayway Cemetery. He brought back Dwe's ashes and a pagoda was erected at Chaung Wa Monastery. A statue of his eldest son and his Academy Gold Medal were donated by Dwe and are kept in at the Monastery. His uncle, Sayadaw U Kittithara (former actor Kyaw Hein), died on 13 July 2020, coinciding with the date of their deaths.

Before Dwe's death he made a painting which was on display from 1 to 6 June 2009, at Azada Hall, 34th Street, Yangon to commemorate the second anniversary of Dwe's death. Its proceeds anll 11 of his works were donated to a press fund.
