Biography

Oyoung became interested in acting at the age of seven and began appearing in school plays. His father taught him Wushu, becoming adept in it. As he grew up he began to feel that acting was his calling, but did not know how it would happen, "I wanted to be the next Bruce Lee, but I never believed I would seriously pursue acting. I didn't know where to start". Oyoung tried to be a computer programmer and tried entering politics, the latter of which he enjoyed but had this to say about it: "I'd much rather play a politician on TV." His parents were fully supportive of his endeavor with him admitting that his mom would watch anything he was in. He initially began working at places such as Pirates Dinner Adventure and Disneyland in order to make a living before booking roles in film and television.[2]

He worked in films such as Legion, The Last Airbender, Thor, Safe, Olympus Has Fallen and Sicario. He trained actors Keanu Reeves, Denzel Washington and Adam Driver for the films 47 Ronin, The Equalizer and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, respectively. He appeared on television in major shows such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, NCIS, Castle and Scandal. He was featured in a recurring role as Lan Hu on The Last Ship. In video games he portrayed a Jedi Master in Star Wars: The Old Republic[3] and gained more recognition as Martin Li / Mister Negative in the 2018 video game Spider-Man.
