Simu Liu

Simu Liu is a Canadian Screen Award-nominated actor, writer, producer, and stuntman, known for his role as Jung Kim on the CBC sitcom Kim's Convenience (2016). He is also known for portraying Shang-Chi in the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Immigrating from China at the age of 5, Simu was raised in Mississauga, Ontario. After graduating from the Richard Ivey School of Business and working at a top accounting firm for nearly a year, Liu was laid off. Deciding to pursue work in film and television instead, he quickly landed roles on series such as Heroes Reborn (2015), Nikita (2010), Warehouse 13 (2009), and Air Crash Investigation (2003). He has since starred in Blood and Water (2015) and Taken (2017) and guest-starred in The Expanse (2015), Bad Blood (2017), and Fresh Off the Boat (2015).

Liu has written and produced for television and film. His short film Meeting Mommy was selected as a semi-finalist for the NBC Universal Shorts Festival. He was also a writer on the second season of Blood and Water, contributing as a story editor and as the main writer for one episode.

Simu trains extensively in martial arts and stunt work in addition to television and theatrical performance.
