Wesley Wong comes from a famed Chinese acting family. His father is Melvin Wong, a comedic and martial arts actor who worked closely with Jackie Chan while his mother Angie Chiu was one of China’s biggest TV stars. As the son of actors, it seemed like Wong would want to pursue a similar career path — not so much. Wong stopped by the New Hollywood Podcast to talk about how before making the decision to become an actor and his debut in Pacific Rim: Uprising, he took a detour from his expected career route.
At first, Wong wasn’t necessarily avoiding an acting career, but it wasn’t at the top of his list. He moved from China to the U.S. and spent some time in the San Francisco Bay Area and then went on to the University of Southern California to study finance and earned a degree in Business Administration.
