}}Jimmy O. Yang ({{zh|c=歐陽萬成}}; born on June 11, 1987) is a Chinese American actor, stand-up comedian and writer best known for starring as Jian-Yang in the HBO comedy series Silicon Valley.[1][2]

Early life

On June 11, 1987, Yang was born as Au-yeung Man-Sing ({{zh|t=歐陽萬成}}) in Hong Kong. When Yang was thirteen years old, his family emigrated to the United States.[3] His aunt and grandmother were already living in the U.S. and his parents joined them primarily to allow Yang and his brother access to better schools and education.[3]

Education

Yang attended the University of California, San Diego,[3] where he majored in economics. The commencement speaker at his college graduation was his later Silicon Valley showrunner and UCSD alumnus Mike Judge.

Career

After college, Yang went to work for Smith Barney before deciding on a creative career.[4]

Yang made his television debut on the CBS series 2 Broke Girls, and his first late night stand-up appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show. In season 9 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, he played the character Tang-See. Yang also appeared in an episode of Criminal Minds as Nathan Chow, a high-school student who suffered a psychotic break.[5] He was once a writer/consultant for the Harlem Globetrotters,[6] and voiced roles in the video game Infamous Second Son.[7]

He played Dun Meng, who was carjacked by the Tsarnaev brothers, in the 2016 action drama Patriots Day.[8] It was Yang's first dramatic role.

Yang initially began as a guest star on Silicon Valley making scale, then $900 per episode. He appeared in three episodes and spent the money on a Prius so he could drive for Uber to earn money between the first and second season of the show. For the second season, he was promoted to series regular.[9]

In 2018, he played Bernard Tai in the romantic comedy film Crazy Rich Asians, directed by Jon M. Chu.[10][11]

How to American

Yang is also the author of How to American: An Immigrant's Guide to Disappointing Your Parents, a book in which "he shares his story of growing up as a Chinese immigrant who pursued a Hollywood career against the wishes of his parents."[12] Mike Judge wrote the book's foreword.[13]

Yang has also continued stand-up comedy, in 2018 going on a tour titled after the book.[14]

Personal life

Yang's father later signed with the same talent agency and has since appeared in several films, including playing his character's father in Patriots Day.
