Tzi Ma (aka "Cheng Zhi") - "I Think Our Profession Is Noble, And I Always Believed That."

20 Years of 24

Need a reminder about the importance of a good story and of seeing yourself onscreen?
It is not often that we speak to someone that has worked with EVERYBODY. I have only said that to one other guest, and Tzi Ma mentions her right at the end!
Need proof? Besides his portrayal of the devastatingly charismatic Cheng on 24, Tzi has appeared in Kung Fu, The Farewell, Wu Assassins, Rush Hour, Treadstone, The Man In The High Castle, MULAN, Silicon Valley, Skyscraper, Angie Tribeca, Veep, Man Seeking Woman... and that's just scratching the surface.
He shares with us about shining light on his village, the Broadway actor that influenced him to pursue acting, finding agency and independence and the roles he gets recognized for at the airport!
