Terry Chen (born February 3, 1975) is a Canadian film and television actor.

Early life

Chen was born to ethnic Chinese parents originating from Taiwan (father) and mainland China (mother), in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.[1] After an education at schools in Edmonton and Vancouver, British Columbia, he attended college in Calgary and studied at the University of Calgary.

Career

Chen's breakout role[citation needed] was as real-life Rolling Stone editor Ben Fong-Torres in the 2000 Cameron Crowe film Almost Famous. He has appeared in several television shows, including Steven Spielberg's TV miniseries Taken, and was a series regular on Combat Hospital. Chen has appeared in feature films I, Robot, The Chronicles of Riddick, Snakes on a Plane and had a leading role in the horror/thriller They Wait.

Chen played a recurring role in the Canadian science fiction series Continuum,[1] which premiered on Showcase on May 27, 2012. Chen portrayed Xander Feng in Season 2 of Netflix's House of Cards.[1] From 2017 to 2018 he played botanist Praxidike Meng in The Expanse seasons 2 and 3, and in 2018 appeared in season 2 of Jessica Jones as Pryce Cheng.

In the film Falling, Chen plays the understanding husband of a man (played by Mortensen) trying to care for his homophobic, misogynist and increasingly demented father.
