Early life

edit

Shih was born on 23 August 1982 in Taiwan.[1] He grew up in a single-parent family, primarily raised by his grandparents,[2] while his mother worked as a nurse at Keelung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.[3] He described his family's financial situation as poor and began working part-time as early as elementary school.[4] Shih attended Hwa Kang Arts School [zh] for high school, where he later reflected on his years as lacking motivation, repeating his freshman year three times and even being suspended for a semester due to fighting.[5][6] After watching Legacy, a dance performance choreographed by Lin Hwai-min, Shih developed an interest in performing and worked hard to gain admission to Taipei National University of the Arts.[6] He initially studied at the School of Dance in his freshman year but transferred to the School of Theater Arts in his second year.[6] He explained that he transferred because of a knee injury sustained from frequent dance practices, and he chose to pursue acting instead to ensure a longer performing career.[7] He was a classmate of fellow actor Huang Di-yang.[8] He spent a total of six years at TNUA before graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.[6][9] During his university years, Shih began filming advertisements, including one alongside Gwei Lun-mei,[6] and also performed as a stage actor for Shakespeare's Wild Sisters Group [zh] and Move Theater.[10]

Career

edit

Early roles (2011–2019)

edit

In 2011, Shih began his on-screen career after completing his mandatory military service at the age of 29.[5][11] In his early acting career, he could not afford rent, so he worked as an editing assistant at a friend's production studio, where he also slept.[11] He made his debut in the drama film Coconut, which earned him nominations for Best Actor and Best New Talent in the 13th Taipei Film Festival.[5] Following these nominations, Shih began receiving offers for television roles,[11] including a recurring part as Axe in the 2012 Hakka TV series Jump！ Cheerleader [zh].[12] In 2014, he appeared in a supporting role as the brother of Austin Lin's character in the drama film Anywhere Somewhere Nowhere [zh],[13] followed by leading roles in the Hakka TV series Brave Forward [zh] and the television film The Free Man,[14][15] for which he received a nomination for Best Leading Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film in the 49th Golden Bell Awards.[16] In 2015, Shih starred in the drama film The Laundryman [zh],[17] and took on recurring roles in An Adopted Daughter [zh] and A Touch of Green.[18][19] He also made cameo appearances as a film director in the drama Another Woman,[20] and as a special agent from the 1980s alongside Mo Tzu-yi in the period drama The Best of Youth [zh].[21] Shih continued to appear in supporting roles, portraying a gangster in the 2016 drama Fighting Meiling [zh] and an assassin named Duan Yi in the 2017 crime film The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful.[22][23] He also appeared in the family drama We are All Family [zh] and Wake Up 2 that same year.[24][25]

In 2018, Shih played Wu Tzu-jie, one half of a good-cop-bad-cop duo alongside Jack Kao in the crime film The Scoundrels [zh], for which Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter praised their performances, stating they "elevated The Scoundrels into respectability".[26] He also had a leading role in the Chinese period drama The Bittersweet Taiwan [zh], alongside seven other Taiwanese actors in the ensemble.[27] In 2019, Shih portrayed The Director, the filmmaker in the film-within-a-film Spy Romance, in the drama Nina Wu directed by Midi Z,[28] with C.J. Sheu of The News Lens describing his performance as creating "an atmosphere of fear on set".[29] He appeared as the right-hand man of a police chief played by Joan Chen the crime film Sheep Without a Shepherd,[30] and as a psychiatrist in the drama series The World Between Us.[31]

In 2023, Shih secured leading roles in the drama film Day Off [zh] and the crime series Taiwan Crime Stories.[41][42] He also made a cameo appearance as a frozen corpse in the horror-comedy series What The Hell Is Love [zh],[43] which was well-received among audience.[44][45] In 2024, Shih starred as a table tennis coach in the sports film Doubles Match [zh].[46] Lee Kuang-chueh, writing for Yahoo! Lifestyle, called Shih's interactions with his character's daughter (played by Yeh Yi-jun) "very interesting" and praised his character arc.[47] He then appeared as a captive during the Pacific War in the period drama Three Tears in Borneo [zh],[48] followed by a lead role as Mang, a high-ranking gangster, in the film GATAO: Like Father Like Son [zh],[49] for which he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the 61st Golden Horse Awards.[50]
