Wallace Huo Chien-hwa (Chinese: 霍建華, born 26 December 1979) is a Taiwanese actor, singer and producer. He is currently active in the television and movie industry in China. He is known for his roles as Zhong Xiaogang in At Dolphin Bay (2003), Xu Changqing in Chinese Paladin 3 (2009), Linghu Chong in Swordsman (2013) and Bai Zihua in The Journey of Flower (2015), which puts his fame and popularity at the highest peak.
Wallace Huo Chien-hwa was born in Taipei, Taiwan on 26 December 1979. His family originated from Shandong province, with parents being natives of Longkou, Shandong province and Tianjin Municipality respectively. His grandfather was a follower of Sun Yat-sen and in October 1949, his family moved to Taiwan. Both his parents worked in the court system and his brother is a police officer. Huo once aspired to be a basketball player but then turned to singing in his early teenage days.
Setting the goal as a singer, Huo joined the entertainment business at the age of 17. He was the assistant of Taiwanese TV host Sam Tseng then.
Huo first became known from a cell phone commercial with Angelica Lee in 2000.
After completing his military service in 2002, Huo, in order to have the chance to sing a theme song, became one of the two leading actors in the drama Star. This marked the beginning of his acting career.
Huo rose to fame from the idol drama At Dolphin Bay, which achieved a peak rating of 5.11 and became the most popular idol drama of the year. His role as the talented and capable music director Zhong Xiaogang brought him significant popularity in Taiwan as well as Southeast Asia. He was then in great demand by many producers and was cast in seven idol dramas in the same year (a record yet to be broken), including Pretty Girl, The Great Teacher, My Secret Garden, Westside Story and 100% Senorita etc. While many people regarded him a popular star, Huo had to ride motorcycle to different shooting locations on his own without any assistant. He nearly fell asleep while driving. This overload of work demand together with the formula-type mode of acting sparked his idea of moving his career focus to mainland China.
