Chris Pang
Chris Pang is an actor, writer and producer of Taiwanese/Cantonese descent and is fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese and an aficionado of martial arts disciplines. After graduating with a Bachelor of Multimedia Design at Monash University in 2006 and pursuing a career in entertainment he has appeared on television in the Australian AFI Award-winning series Rush, in a recurring role in Netflix’s Marco Polo Season 2 and as a series regular in Jason Katims’ series As We See It for Amazon Studios. Pang’s feature film debut was in Citizen Jia Li (2008), for which he was both an associate producer and an actor. The role won him an Asians on Film (LA) Best Actor award. He has since built a stable of film credits, including the Australian box office hit Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010), Crazy Rich Asians (2018), Charlie’s Angels (2019) and Palm Springs (2020). Feeling the need to add his voice to the content currently being created, Pang has moved beyond acting and produced the 2018 indie feature Empty By Design with Cignal Entertainment in the Philippines and currently has a Sessue Hayakawa biopic in development at Raimi Pictures. He will next be seen in the Disney/Hulu series Interior Chinatown.
