Liu currently has five films in the works, with the romance “One True Loves” set for release this year. “I spent four of those years running around like a headless chicken trying to figure out how to break into the industry, struggling with credit card debt and taking any job I could,” Liu said. Like Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hours theory in his book “Outliers,” the 10 years (and countless hours) since Liu left Deloitte has been an “incredible journey” for the actor. “Another three years were spent trying to break into Hollywood, sinking my precious life savings into something many would call a pipe dream. Liu continued, “Ten years ago I thought my life was over. I fought back tears of humiliation, grabbed my things, and never looked back.”

Before choosing to become an actor, Liu worked in business, eventually becoming an accountant in Toronto. According to the actor in an inspirational and touching letter, he was dismissed from that job in 2012, an incident that would change the remainder of his life and pave the way for him to follow his genuine love. However, in a recent tweet, Liu muses on the ten-year anniversary of being fired from his accounting job on April 12th. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which was released last year, follows the story of a martial arts master who is lured into the web of a violent criminal operation known as the Ten Rings and must face his past.
