Yoson An

Yoson An is a New Zealand actor and filmmaker who was born in Guangdong and spent his early years in Macau before his family settled in Auckland. He started performing as a child, taking part in a school production of Les Misérables at eight, and went on to study music at Saint Kentigern College in Pakuranga, Auckland, where he appeared in school productions. He began studying economics and finance at university but went back to acting in his second year with the help of an acting coach. His screen career started in 2012 with small projects, and Ghost Bride brought him his first significant break. In 2017 he was cast in Dead Lucky, a leading role opposite Rachel Griffiths that he has described as a major opportunity, and in 2018 he joined the cast of Disney's live-action Mulan (2020), working again with Dead Lucky co-star Xana Tang.
