Mo was born on 23 June 1981,[3] in Wanli District, New Taipei City.[4] His father worked as a taxi driver and in private security, while his mother was a hawker.[5][6] He spent his childhood in the mountainous regions of Wanli,[4] and later moved to Yonghe District, New Taipei City, living near the Fuhe Grand Theater.[7] His father took him to watch movies there in his youth, sparking his interest in film, and he often skipped classes in the future to watch films at that theater.[7] Mo attended the National Overseas Chinese Experimental Senior High School [zh],[8]: 2 where he described his school years as "rebellious" and was nearly expelled after failing eight subjects in his first year.[8]: 2 [9] However, he was invited to join the school's drama club in the second semester, which ignited his passion for acting, and he cited the "sense of freedom" he felt on stage as a key reason for his newfound interest.[8]: 2 He began participating in stage performances at the age of 15,[10] and starred in the 1997 short film Wild Sparrow written by Yang Ya-che.[4] After discovering his passion for acting, Mo dedicated himself to studying and was admitted to Taipei National University of the Arts to pursue a degree in performing arts.[4][8]: 2 He was mentored by stage director Ma Tin-ni [zh],[11] and pursued an intensive course load, graduating after five years.[8]: 3 [12] During his university years, he developed an appreciation for literature,[8]: 3 [13] and worked part-time at Eslite Bookstore on Dunhua South Road in Taipei, often reading books there even when he was off duty.[14][15]
In 2010, Mo appeared in the Singaporean romance film Forever [zh] as Gin, a Taiwanese expat who enters into a relationship with a filmmaker played by Joanna Dong,[31] and made a brief appearance in Cheng Wen-tang's film Tears [zh].[32] He also took on a leading role as Jack, a journalist searching for a missing singer played by Tong Yao, in the Chinese-Hong Kong-Taiwanese-Japanese co-production Snowfall in Taipei.[33] The following year, Mo starred as the romantic interest of Herb Hsu [zh]'s character in the Hakka TV historical series Jiong Ien Sen [zh],[34] and as Hsiao Tzu-chien, a university student who becomes a vegetative state survivor after a car accident, in the Da Ai Television series Son, My Love Forever [zh].[35] In 2012, he participated in another international project, the Hong Kong film Cross.[36] He also secured a main role in the Taiwan Television family drama An Innocent Mistake [zh],[37] playing Cheng Yu-en, the estranged son of Wang Shih-hsien's character,[38] which earned him his second nomination for Best Male Lead in the 48th Golden Bell Awards.[39] In 2013, Mo starred as Seng, a Singaporean-Chinese resistance fighter, in the Australian-Singaporean war film Canopy,[40] with Todd Brown of Screen Anarchy commending his performance as "stellar" and "engaging", noting that it kept the audience captivated.[41] He was approached by the Australian director Aaron Wilson, who had watched a previous work of Mo, at the Hong Kong Film Market and invited him to join the project.[42]
Mo made a cameo appearance alongside Blue Lan in the 2014 TTV series Apple in Your Eye, another project of An Innocent Mistake's writer Mag Hsu [zh], as lead actress Amber An's colleagues.[43] He also landed a leading role as Bazi, the head of a design company in a romantic relationship with Tiffany Ann Hsu's character, in the romance film Design 7 Love [zh].[44][45] Director Chen Hung-i [zh], who had previously collaborated with Mo on Candy Rain, cast him for his ability to "easily embody characters" and arranged for him to complete internships at a design firm to fully immerse himself in his character.[45] After starring in Designer 7 Love, Mo returned to stage acting and participated in Edward Lam [zh]'s Dream of the Red Chamber, which was performed in Taiwan that same year and continued its run in Hong Kong the following year.[46][36] In 2015, he starred in another romance film Elena [zh], which features a love triangle involving Tammy Chen [zh] and Kaiser Chuang.[47] He also made a cameo appearance alongside Shih Ming-shuai as special agents from the 1980s in the period drama The Best of Youth [zh].[48] In 2016, Mo received another main role in the CTV series Nie Xiaoqian [zh], a modernized version of the folktale of the same name, where he played an emergency physician who falls in love with the reincarnation of Nie Xiaoqian (played by Annie Chen).[49] After the airing of Nie Xiaoqian, Mo took a six-month hiatus from acting to travel, including attending the Edinburgh International Festival.[13]
Breakthrough and critical recognition (2018–present)
In 2018, Mo starred as playwright Lu Ho-jo in the autobiographical drama Roseki 1914 [zh], which he co-wrote with Lou Yi-an.[50][51] However, in an interview with The News Lens, Mo noted that most of the screenplay was completed by Lou and that he "only played a small part".[51] Mo described the preparation for playing Lu Huo-jo as "complex", immersing himself in the character by reading his novels and diaries while learning Japanese and Hokkien, languages in which Lu was proficient.[52] He also took singing lessons and learned to play the piano, starting from scratch and dedicating six months to it.[52][53] He won Best Writing and received a nomination for Best Male Lead in the 53rd Golden Bell Awards with the series.[54][55] In the same year, he was approached by Cheng Yu-chieh at fellow actor Matt Wu's wedding and offered the chance to collaborate on a project that Cheng and Yang Ya-che were developing, which Mo accepted before the screenplay was finished.[51][56] This project evolved into the drama film Dear Tenant, which premiered in 2020.[57] In it, Mo played Lin, a tenant suspected of murdering the landlord (played by Chen Shu-fang) to take over the property.[58] He took a six-month hiatus from all work before filming, immersing himself in Lin's lifestyle and learning Lin's hobby mountaineering.[51][56] Tay Yek Keak of Today found Mo "practically carries" the film with his "greatly restrained, sensitive, and highly nuanced" performance;[59] while Han Cheung at Taipei Times described his performance as "delicate, nuanced", and "hitting just the right notes for his role".[60] His performance also won him both Best Actor in the 22nd Taipei Film Awards and Best Leading Actor in the 57th Golden Horse Awards.[61][62] Also in 2020, he took on the lead role of Kuo Wei-chiang, a police detective, in the mystery thriller web series Kill for Love [zh],[63] which earned him another nomination for Best Leading Actor in the 55th Golden Bell Awards.[64] He learned acupuncture from a friend who is a Chinese medicine practitioner for the role and performed all the acupuncture scenes on set himself.[65][66]
In 2021, Mo appeared as Mold, an investigative journalist and one of the six ensemble cast members, in Lou Yi-an's crime film Goddamned Asura.[67] He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the 24th Taipei Film Awards with the role,[68] where Lu Hao-ping of Global Views Monthly particularly praised his portrayal among the ensemble, highlighting his "exquisite performance" and acknowledging that he adequately captured the character's complexity.[69] He was then cast as Cheng-hsiu, an astronomer experiencing a midlife crisis, in the drama film Murmur of Memories, which premiered in 2023.[70] In 2024, Mo co-starred in Chung Mong-hong's historical film The Embers alongside Chang Chen, playing a dual role as Mo Hsin-yuan, a victim of the White Terror, and Mo Tzu-fan, Hsin-yuan's son and a factory owner determined to uncover the truth behind his father's murder.[71] To prepare for his role, Mo researched the period of White Terror by reading memoirs and watching documentaries, aiming to interpret and portray the event similarly to South Korea's Gwangju Uprising.[72] He received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in the 61st Golden Horse Awards,[73] with Okapi's Ma Hsin calling it a "standout performance in his career".[74] He announced that he would join the production of the eight-hour stage play A Dream Like A Dream [zh], directed by Stan Lai, in the same year.[75] Mo also co-led Lou Yi-an's drama series Our Bar with Janel Tsai and Yang Kuei-mei,[76] which premiered at the 2024 Golden Horse Film Festival and made available for streaming in May 2025.[77][78] He portrayed an award-winning bartender Jung who loses his sense of taste,[78] with Chien Ying-jou of United Daily News described his performance as "relaxed" and "reminiscent of his work in stage comedies".[79] Prior to production, he spent a year interning at a bar and contributed advice on the set design.[80]
Personal life
Mo has been dubbed by the media as leading a "low-profile life".[81] He has expressed disdain for capitalism in the film industry, rejecting all commercial films, advertisements, and promotional activities, and he has never attended premieres.[51][82] He also does not use social media.[83] Mo has voiced his aversion to the press, refusing interviews during the early years of his career,[4][84] but he began to be more open to interviews starting in the 2020s, considering it a way to "attract greater exposure" for his work.[4]
Mo began suffering from insomnia due to academic pressure during his university years, and he has struggled with it for over 15 years.[15][85] On 8 November 2017, he published a prose anthology The Person with Insomnia, featuring 41 essays he wrote during sleepless nights.[12][86] He cited the works of playwright Chen Ming-chai [zh] as his inspiration for the book.[87] In July 2018, he adapted it into a stage play, in which he starred alongside Huang Yu-siang [zh],[88] and the play continued its run until May 2022.[89] Mo married a woman outside the entertainment industry on 8 July 2022.[90][91] They did not hold a wedding ceremony.[92]
