Wilson Liu

From a HIStory3 debut to a lead role at Cannes: that is the path of Taiwanese actor Wilson Liu. He attended Da’an Vocational High School and studied applied English at Chihlee University of Technology before moving into acting. He made his screen debut in 2019 as Sun Bo Xiang, one of the main roles in the boys love series HIStory3: Make Our Days Count, and returned to the character for guest appearances in HIStory4: Close to You in 2021. He appeared as Chris in the 2022 series About Youth and took a supporting part in the horror film Minxiong Haunted House the same year. In 2023 he made a guest appearance in Kiseki: Dear to Me. He played the lead role of Chung Han, a mute restaurant worker, in the feature film Locust, which premiered in the Critics’ Week section of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and later screened at the Morelia International Film Festival. In 2025 he appeared in the film Penguin Girl. He is credited in international festival listings as Liu Wei-chen.

Born on 8 July 1998, he received a Golden Bell nomination in 2020 for the role of Sun Bo Xiang (孫博翔) in HIStory3: Make Our Days Count (那一天). The series had a largely inexperienced ensemble assembled by director Tsai Mi Chieh (蔡宓潔).

In his own words. "If you are going to act, then act properly." He said it in September 2020, when his 55th Golden Bell nomination was announced, about what lies behind his acting.

HIStory3: Make Our Days Count was shown on Choco TV and LINE TV from 16 October to 18 December 2019 in 20 episodes, directed by Ishtar Tsai from a script by Shao Hui-ting. Wayne Song plays the central student character, Xiang Hao Ting, and Thomas Chang appears as the dessert shop owner Lu Zhi Gang. Locust is the feature debut of the Taiwanese-American director KEFF and was shown in Critics’ Week at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May 2024. It is set in Taipei, largely in and around an old fashioned corner eatery, and follows Chung Han, who washes dishes by day and works for a gang outside those hours; when the restaurant’s owner comes under financial pressure from a property developer, he has to weigh the people at the restaurant against his criminal associates. Yu An-shun plays the owner, Rong, Devin Pan plays the gang leader Kobe, and Rimong Ihwar also appears.
