Early life

After primary and secondary education in Edmonton and Vancouver, British Columbia, he briefly studied at the University of Calgary before later moving to Vancouver to pursue acting.[2]

Career

Chen's breakout role[3] was as real-life Rolling Stone editor Ben Fong-Torres in the 2000 Cameron Crowe film Almost Famous.[4] He has appeared in several television shows, including Steven Spielberg's TV miniseries Taken, and was a series regular on Combat Hospital.[5] Chen has appeared in feature films I, Robot, The Chronicles of Riddick, Snakes on a Plane and had a leading role in the horror/thriller They Wait.

Chen played a recurring role in the Canadian science fiction series Continuum,[2] which premiered on Showcase on May 27, 2012. Chen portrayed Xander Feng in Season 2 of Netflix's House of Cards.[2] From 2017 to 2018 he played botanist Praxideke Meng in The Expanse seasons 2 and 3, and in 2018 appeared in season 2 of Jessica Jones as Pryce Cheng.[6]

In the film Falling, Chen plays the understanding husband of a man (played by actor/director Viggo Mortensen) trying to care for his homophobic, misogynist and increasingly demented father.[7]
