Paul Cheng

Paul Cheng is a bilingual, Taiwanese Canadian actor and stunt performer based in Vancouver, Canada. Paul was born to a Chinese father and Taiwanese mother in Taipei, Taiwan, on August 4, 1978, as Chih-Ping Cheng. He has a younger sister Yvonne, with whom he shares a special bond. Paul immigrated to Canada at the age of 9, and was raised in Toronto, Ontario. During his high school years, Paul played football and received an athletic scholarship to Simon Fraser University, where he graduated with a degree in economics. Paul is proud to be both the first Taiwanese-born professional football player, as well as the first Asian-Canadian to be selected as a first round draft pick, with the BC Lions in the Canadian Football League. After a small motion capture gig, Paul temporarily set aside his athletic ambitions, deciding to pursue work in Vancouver's vibrant film and television industry instead.
