Thai-Australian actor Chai Hansen was born on February 8, 1989, on the picturesque island of Koh Samui, situated in the Gulf of Thailand. Following his birth, Chai's family relocated to Australia, where he would soon discover his natural talent for breaking national records in track and field at a remarkably young age. As he grew older, Chai developed a profound passion for dance, a hobby that would later serve as a foundation for his future endeavors in the performing arts.
Upon completing his diploma in performing arts in 2011, Chai's big break arrived when he was announced as a cast member of the internationally acclaimed television series Mako Mermaids. As the charismatic merman Zac Blakely, Chai's first leading role in a television series garnered widespread attention, paving the way for his entry into the entertainment industry.
The success of Mako Mermaids led to Chai securing a recurring role as Ilian in the fourth season of The 100, a character who would ultimately meet a predetermined fate. Following his departure from the series, Chai went on to land the title role of Monkey in The New Legends of Monkey, a modern retelling of the classic tale Journey to the West.
In early 2018, Chai joined the cast of Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments for its third season, playing the role of Jordan Kyle, a werewolf on a quest for redemption. Throughout his career, Chai has demonstrated his dedication to his craft, meticulously developing his characters with attention to detail. With several projects on the horizon, Chai Hansen continues to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
