Early life

[edit | edit source]

Lin was born in Fuzhou, China,[5] and moved to Hong Kong at age 3.[6]

Lin was sent abroad to boarding schools at age 9 in Sydney, Australia where he spent the bulk of his youth.[7] His accent was different each time he moved, but he was considered as an outsider in Australia. "I had to fight a lot as a kid," Lin said, referring to how he learned street fighting just to defend his different accents.[6] At age 17, he immigrated to Vancouver, Canada for university. He attended and graduated from the University of British Columbia with a double major in Dietetics and Theatre Performance. Lin also studied film and TV acting in Los Angeles.[8] Lin currently resides in Vancouver and Beijing.

Career

[edit | edit source]

Lin started his acting career with short films and later landed his first major U.S. role in the movie, Power Rangers.

He had previously auditioned for Shang-Chi for the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) and also for Spike Spiegel from the live-action Cowboy Bebop. He is also mentioned that he is a fan of the anime the series was based on.[9]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Lin is highly athletic, having trained in snowboarding, scuba diving, martial arts, muay thai, jiu-Jitsu and Olympic-style wrestling.[10]

He is fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.[11]

He became a vegan around 2016.[5] In a video where he explains his dietary fundamentals on the Men's Health YouTube channel, Lin advocates a vegan diet saying "It's good for the Earth, it's good for my body, I feel good about it because animals are cute, and it is the only thing that is sustainable."[12]

Lin is also a fan of comic books, manga, and anime.[9] He is also an activist for Asian representation and speaking out against Asian racism with movements like Stop Asian Hate.[13]
