Terry Chen's Hollywood debut as Rolling Stone's editor Ben Fong Torres in Cameron Crowe's Academy Award-nominated fUm Almost Famous has garnered praise from the likes of Variety magazine to Ebert & Roeper at the Movies. The intensity, commitment and strong natural talent he displayed helped launch an impressive career that continues to showcase Chen's incredible range and versatility as an actor.

From a starring role opposite Billy Zane and Academy Award-nominee Dennis Hopper in Mem-o-re, to working with Samuel L. Jackson in Snakes on a Plane, the Alberta-born actor has amassed over 50 film and television projects to date. After wrapping up his supporting lead role opposite Jessica Biel in the The A-Team, Chen has guest starred on various television series such as V and Psych, as well as pilots Befriend & Betray, and Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome. He can also be seen in two Syfy projects: in Riverworld, he plays a Second World War Chinese American fighter pilot caught in a surreal world of purgatory, and in Sanctuary, he plays an evil scientist battling wits with an elite team of monster hunters. Chen was also reunited with director Ernie Barbarash to film the sci-fi action thriller Hardwired with Val Kilmer and Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding Jr. Barbarash first cast Chen opposite Jaime King (Sin City) in the horror feature They Wait in which Chen plays a man whose family is threatened by a haunting. Another high-profile project in which Chen was seen as a devoted family man was War with Hong Kong action star Jet Li and Jason Statham.

In Canada, Chen is well known as an artist who values community and collaboration. It was Chen's work in the long-running, critically-acclaimed television series Da Vinci's Inquest which led the show's head writer and director Chris Haddock to cast Chen in his award-winning feature The Life, a film which showcases the poverty and drug abuse rampant in Vancouver's downtown east side.
