About me

Jackie has driven his passion for acting through college and university where he has graduated with a BA (Hons) degree in Acting from the University Of Central Lancashire (UCLan) in 2012.

Jackie was born and raised in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire to Chinese parents whom migrated into Britain during the early 70's. With a life-long passion for acting, Jackie strives to excel in his art as an actor and writer, to help raise awareness for the British East & South East community. He is now based in London where he continues to write and has become a commendable member of the ESEA community, and has worked in national television, film, West End and Fringe theatre.
