For those who are unfamiliar with Lin, he is considered one of Asia’s fastest rising stars and a true proponent of martial arts, having honed his skills in Thailand and Japan before embarking on his acting career. He has since scored action-packed roles such as Zack Taylor in Power Rangers, Captain Murk in Aquaman among others, and now commands his role as Liu Kang in the upcoming action fantasy film.
Prior to filming Mortal Kombat, Lin took a break from the action-film genre with The Ghost Bride where he discovered his love for ice chendol.
“The greatest thing I learned from Ghost Bride is ice chendol! I’m proud to have a diverse repertoire of work ranging from blockbuster films to period dramas such as The Ghost Bride. It’s such a blessing to be able to have an audience in Asia and Western countries and to tell stories across different platforms including Netflix, Warner Bros, HBO Max, and iQIYI which can virtually reach everyone globally. Playing a wide range of roles nurtures my body, mind, and spirit so that nothing is ever at rest.”
Opening the interview with Lin were two questions, the first being a spoiler of sorts and the other to understand what his connection with Mortal Kombat is.
