Early life and education

Mann was born in Hong Kong to a Chinese-American mother and a Chinese father. He was raised bilingual in English and Cantonese and grew up in Kowloon.[5] Mann attended the Diocesan Boys' School,[5] an all-boys secondary school in Hong Kong.

Mann attended a Christian college in Chicago, Illinois. After his first year, he transferred to UCLA in Los Angeles, California, where he majored in philosophy.[1][2] After graduation, Mann attended USC Law School.[6] During law school, he decided to pursue acting and took a sabbatical to explore opportunities in Hong Kong.[5][6] Mann later returned to finish law school and passed the California bar exam.[1][2][7]

He changed his last name from Chan to Mann.[1][2]

Career

Mann made his film debut in the 1990 TV movie, Last Flight Out. He acted in the film while on a sabbatical at USC Law School.[5][6]

Mann starred in films such as Red Corner and The Corruptor, and in the television show Dark Angel, and has also co-starred in Catwoman and Invincible. He is best known as Ryu in Street Fighter and Koh in the manga-based movie Crying Freeman.

In 2012, Mann starred in The Man with the Iron Fists, directed by RZA. In 2015, Mann appeared in The Big Short, a Paramount Pictures feature film directed by Adam McKay. He also was a series regular on AMC's Hell on Wheels, playing the powerful railroad mercenary Chang.[1][2][6]

In 2018, Mann was a recurring character on Netflix's Altered Carbon.[8] In June 2018, it was announced that Mann was cast in the series regular role of Uncle Six on the Netflix series, Wu Assassins.[9]

Personal life

He was a top-ranked tennis player, under 16 division, in Hong Kong.[5] He is also a wushu practitioner, and has displayed his skills in a number of movies including Invincible and Street Fighter.

Mann is fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and speaks some Thai after having learned it for his role in the 2013 film A Stranger in Paradise.
