BIOGRAPHY

Thomas Chang is a Taiwanese actor born in Taoyuan. He first appeared on screen in the early 2010s with roles in the series Love Me or Leave Me in 2012 and I Love U Love U Love I in 2013, and became more widely known through reality and variety television before returning to scripted work. He took a leading role in the 2017 series May I Love You and appeared across several seasons of the web series Girl’s Power as Xu Cheng Yuan between 2018 and 2021. In 2019 he played the teacher Lu Zhi Gang in the boys love series HIStory3: Make Our Days Count, and reprised the character for a guest appearance in HIStory4: Close to You in 2021. He also took a supporting part in the 2021 feature film The Soul. Later credits include the 2022 series S.S.P.T. and appearances in Fight for You and Black and White Is Real in 2025. He is managed by YiJi Entertainment and also works as a fitness instructor.

He was born in Taoyuan on 22 October 1989.

His long running work as Hsu Sheng Yuan (徐聖淵) across several seasons of the 女力報到 franchise from 2018 gave him his most sustained screen presence.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How did Thomas Chang get into the industry?

Through a reality dating programme in 2011, rather than a drama school or an agency showcase. Scripted work followed from there, with small parts in 愛我你敢嗎 in 2012 and 我愛你愛你愛我 in 2013 before any larger role arrived.

Which of his credits has run the longest?

The 女力報到 franchise, where he appeared recurrently across seasons 2, 4, 7, 8 and 9 between 2018 and 2021. It is by a wide margin his most sustained screen presence, and more of his working time than any single film or series.

Why do sources disagree about his character names?

Because the Chinese characters differ between them. His long running franchise character is written 徐聖淵 in one entry and 許晟元 in another, and his HIStory teacher is 盧志剛 in one place and 陸志剛 in a second. All four spellings are recorded here rather than one being quietly chosen.

What does he do besides act?

He works as a fitness and sports massage instructor. He holds a sports massage specialist certification and a Republic of China fitness instructor certification, added a WBC international intermediate boxing certificate in June 2023, and has registered for an advanced boxing coach qualification.

What happened at his physique contest?

He entered the first Muscle Star contest in three categories at once, the newcomer physique, open physique and sports physique divisions, and said he felt most confident in the last of them. He had added at least an hour of cardio to his daily schedule on top of weights beforehand.

Who does he name as a teacher?

Su Li-wen 蘇麗文, the taekwondo athlete. She turned up to cheer him at that physique contest and told him that attitude decides everything, and he has cited her since as the person who taught him that.

Has he released music?

One album, 愛 Don’t be shy, in August 2017, with further songs in 2019. His earliest break came through a Chinese Times idol talent contest, where he placed first as the most promising idol by popularity, before any of the acting.
