Notes

Chris Pang has just wrapped on Sony’s Charlie’s Angels reboot as “Johnny Smith” a smooth, calculated criminal and admirable fighter who is not at all what he at first appears. Chris Pang can currently be seen in Warner Bros. feature film Crazy Rich Asians, which recently won the Critics’ Choice Award for best film (Comedy). He will play “Colin Khoo” - whose ‘wedding of the century’ is the event around which the entire film revolves. Chris Pang is an Australian actor whose breakout role was a lead and love interest to the protagonist in Paramount’s Tomorrow When The War Began, which excelled to be the highest grossing Australian film of 2010 collecting many awards; also subsequently breaking DVD sales records in Australia. He is actively engaged in developing projects and is fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese. Pang has practised over 15 years of martial arts and is proficient in hand-to-hand combat as well as weapons. Chris Pang has steadily built a stable of film and television credits since Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010). The success of the film was followed by a number of Australian television appearances on shows such as AFI Award winning series Rush, critically acclaimed Tangle and City Homicide. Pang would next appear on film alongside Aaron Eckhart and Bill Nighy in Lakeshore’s I, Frankenstein (2014), as “Levi”, a clinical and efficient warrior of the Order of Gargoyles. The Mule (2014) with Hugo Weaving, saw Pang play “Phuk”, the antagonist’s (John Noble) not-so-loyal calm but deadly muscle. More recently Pang will can be seen in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny, the sequel to Ang Lee-directed 2000 martial arts epic, as “Flying Blade” - a highly skilled and noble martial arts fighter who leads his comrades to defend the Green Destiny sword. Pang can also be seen in the 2nd season of popular Netflix/ The Weinstein Company’s Marco Polo as a recurring role “Arban” - a weathered young chieftain who becomes tangled in the bloody politics of the time and who ultimately seals the outcome of the election for the next Khan of Mongolia.
