Liu's role was announced in 2019 during Comic-Con. The actor, who was born in China, moved to Mississauga at an early age, and, aside from Kim's Convenience, has starred in productions like Fresh Off the Boat and Orphan Black.

He's since won over fans with roles in shows like Kim's Convenience (plus heartwarming acts likebuying out theatresfor free screenings andgiving free PS5s away during the holidays).
