Andy Yu is one of the most rapidly ascending Asian actors in Hollywood, with a forthcoming appearance in the highly anticipated third season of Fargo on FX and MGM, where he will be acting alongside Ewan McGregor, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, David Thewlis, Carrie Coon, and Michael Stuhlbarg. This forthcoming project is the culmination of Andy's exceptional acting talents, which have been honed through his involvement in a wide range of television shows and films.
Andy's recent work has included recurring roles in the Syfy series Incorporated, which was produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, as well as AMC's award-winning historical drama Hell on Wheels. His supporting credits include appearances on numerous hit shows, including Arrow on The CW, Man Seeking Woman on FXX, Ransom on CBS and Global TV, Man in the High Castle on Amazon, Degrassi on Netflix, Bad Blood on FX and City, and iZombie on The CW.
Andy was born in Hong Kong and was raised with an authentic Cantonese mother-tongue. His natural ability to mimic dialects allowed him to acquire fluency in Mandarin and English. He credits his decade-long binge-watching of The Simpsons with helping him to become proficient in English. His proficiency in all three languages has enabled him to find success as a professional Chinese dialect coach and script translator on multiple hit network shows.
Andy's proudest achievement to date has been his work as a dialect coach and script translator on the entire fifth season of Hell on Wheels, AMC's historical drama about the construction of the transcontinental railroad between 1867 and 1869. His work on this project garnered him glowing testimonials from the show's creator John Wirth, writer and producer Jami O'Brien, series lead Anson Mount, and various cast members.
