(ENG/中字) Actor Austin Lin Makes Magic on the Silver Screen | The Pursuit of a Cinematic Dream S2E1

Actor Austin Lin shares his journey to stardom in this exclusive TaiwanPlus documentary.
In this documentary, Taiwanese actor Austin Lin (林柏宏) reveals the process behind creating some of his most well-known roles in films such as “Somewhere I Have Never Travelled” (帶我去遠方), “Terrorizers” (青春弒戀), and “I Weirdo” (怪胎).
Lin’s road to fame began in 2007, when he participated in Taiwan’s popular television singing competition “One Million Star II.” Due to this television debut, Lin attracted the attention of Taiwanese director Fu Tien-yu, who invited Lin to star in his first acting role in 2009. Lin details his early struggles with acting and how he overcame these to eventually see himself as a real actor.
Consistent recognition and years of success on screen led Lin to host Taiwan’s 58th Annual Golden Horse Awards in 2021. Through this process, Lin also had the opportunity to work with director Ang Lee (李安) on the show’s opening video.
In 2022, Lin co-starred in the film “Marry My Dead Body” (關於我和鬼變成家人的那件事). He played the role of Mao Mao, a gay ghost who marries a living, straight police officer in a traditional Taiwanese ghost wedding ceremony. The film combines Taiwanese local culture and traditions with modern social values, creating a story that expresses the unique identity of modern day Taiwan.
Tune in to hear this firsthand account of Austin Lin’s most memorable moments in cinema.
