Andy Bian

Born in Keelung and at home on any set: Andy Bian acts, sings and hosts television in Taiwan. He studied at National Taiwan Ocean University and later took part in an acting training programme run by Chinese Television System. He began appearing on screen in 2016 with a guest role in the series Tonight, and followed it with the films Falling in Love and Hanky Panky in 2017 and Spicy Teacher in 2018, alongside the series Songs and the City. In 2019 he played the bodyguard Jack in the boys love series HIStory3: Trapped and took a supporting part in the film Karma. Later work includes the series Mermaid Prince, Love on a Shoestring and Everybody Needs Good Luck. He is managed through TVBS, and he has moved increasingly into presenting, hosting the food programme Super Taste and co-hosting the talk show Queen. He released a photobook titled Good Boy in 2023 and has appeared in commercials for a range of consumer brands.

The series ran for twenty episodes on LINE TV in 2019, with Jake Hsu as a police officer, Chris Wu as a gang leader and Andy as Jack, the bodyguard who stays close to that gang leader. Kenny Chen also appears in the cast as Zhao Li An.

The hosting side of his career took a clear form in April 2024, when his travel and food programme began airing on TVBS on Thursday nights at ten o’clock. Lin Sha is his co-host, and the two of them look for dishes and places worth a detour. Andy has described the aim as taking viewers around the world to unusual places.
