Early life[]

Chen was born to Taiwanese and Chinese parents originating from Taiwan (father) and mainland China (mother), in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.[1] After an education at schools in Edmonton and Vancouver, British Columbia, he attended college in Calgary and studied at the University of Calgary.

Career[]

Chen's breakout role[citation needed] was as real-life Rolling Stone editor Ben Fong-Torres in the 2000 Cameron Crowe film Almost Famous. He has appeared in several television shows, including Steven Spielberg's TV miniseries Taken, and was a series regular on Combat Hospital. 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,[1] which premiered on Showcase on May 27, 2012.
