Biography

Sky Yang is a Chinese-British actor and theatre performer from South London, most known for his roles in Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023), Holding (2022) and The White Hart. He graduated BA (Hons) Professional Actor at London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA). Recently, he landed the starring role in Fast & Furious franchise director Justin Lin’s The Last Days Of John Allen Chau. Yang is also a trained dancer (Historical Dance, Spanish Dance, Cha-Cha, Waltz, Tango, Show Dance), singer (Tenor) and trained at stage combat: BGSC Level Three (Advanced) Certificate in five weapons, overall (Distinction); Examiner’s Gold Star in Small-sword, as well as BGSC Level Four (Specialisation] Certificate in Sabre (Distinction). In 2019, he won the LAMDA Fight Night contest. Outside of acting, he enjoys Boxing, Swimming and tennis, as well as playing guitar and piano. Yang jumped into acting after starring in a school production of Peter Pan, be it youth theatre, school plays or drama A-level. A Saturday class at Sylvia Young Theatre School landed him an agent, a role in Madam Butterfly in the West End, and a video-game job. Aged 17, he spent a month in South Africa on the 2018 Tomb Raider reboot but did not enjoy the experience. “That directed me towards drama school. I wanted to be someone who has agency on set.” While appearing in Nicholas Hytner’s Book Of Dust at London’s Bridge Theatre, Yang auditioned for Zack Snyder’s upcoming Netflix sci-fi feature Rebel Moon, then spent nine months shooting in Los Angeles. Yang also makes short films. Sunny, a spoken-word piece about “growing up East Asian and being told you should feel ashamed of where you come from”, in which he wears a yellow papier-mâché head, was released during the pandemic. “It seemed to affect a large number of people, and made them feel less alone and also made me feel less alone,” Yang says. Film community organisation MilkTea - founded by 2021 Star Chi Thai - asked him to perform Sunny live at London’s BFI Southbank before a screening of Lin’s Better Luck Tomorrow in January, where Yang met the director and hit it off. A month later he was auditioning for The Last Days Of John Allen Chau. “This project has flipped a lot of my perspectives and beliefs and feelings about the world and people,” Yang says.
