Chinese Personality

Daniel Wu Yin-cho 吳彥祖 [吴彦祖] (September 30, 1974) is a Chinese-American actor, director and producer based in Hong Kong. As of 2015, he executive produced (with Stephen Fong) and starred as Sunny in the AMC martial arts drama series Into the Badlands. Since his film debut in 1998, he has been featured in over 60 films.
 
Wu was born in Berkeley, California, and raised in Orinda, California. Wu began studying wushu at 11 years old after watching Jet Li in The Shaolin Temple and Donnie Yen in Iron Monkey. After graduation, he went to Hong Kong to witness the handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997. At the suggestion of his sister, Wu began modeling there and was scouted to star in an upcoming movie, Yon Fan’s Bishonen (together with Stephen Fong) in 1998 (despite his inability to speak or read Chinese). [Til this day, he still relies on his assistant to help with reading n transcribing Chinese scripts to pinyin for him] His acting career took off after that. – wikipedia
