Chinese-Canadian actor Simu Liu rose to fame quickly by playing a wide range of parts in both television and movies. Liu is most known for his breakout role in "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," a Marvel film. His rise to fame in the film industry is a credit to his adaptability and tenacity.

Liu was born in China and moved to Mississauga, Ontario when he was five years old. After graduating from the Richard Ivey School of Business, he first sought a career in accounting. However, he was laid off from a prestigious accounting firm, which changed his focus to acting. He became well-known for his work in series including "Nikita," "Heroes Reborn," and "Kim's Convenience," where he played Jung Kim.

Beyond just acting, Liu is a gifted writer and producer who has left a lasting legacy. His NBC Universal Shorts Festival short film "Meeting Mommy" was acknowledged as a semi-finalist, demonstrating his diverse creative ability. He was also a story editor and writer for the second season of "Blood and Water."

Renowned for his unwavering commitment to authenticity in his roles, Liu goes through intense martial arts and stunt training. Alongside Jennifer Lopez in the sci-fi thriller "Atlas" on Netflix, he plays an AI robot named Harlan, demonstrating his dedication to portraying various characters. Liu described Harlan as "the first AI terrorist," departing from his prior roles and welcoming the challenge of playing a character with darker undertones.

Looking back on his acting career, Liu is grateful for the chance to push boundaries and discover new directions. His rise from accounting to the top of Hollywood shows his unshakable drive and love of telling stories, solidifying his place in the entertainment business as a trailblazer.
