Bio

Brandon Soo Hoo is an American actor best known for his starring role as Scott Fuller, Jacob's adopted Chinese son who grows from boy to man in the course of the series but also discovers an inner strength – and power – he never knew he had, in the supernatural horror series From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series.

He also starred in Cartoon Network's sketch-comedy show Incredible Crew, created and produced by Nick Cannon and executive producers Scott Tomlinson (Tosh.0) and Michael Goldman.

Soo Hoo was seen on the big screen opposite Harrison Ford, Sir Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, Asa Butterfield and Hailee Steinfeld in the big-budget adventure Sci-Fi film Ender's Game. The film was directed by Gavin Hood and produced by Kurtzman/Orci, Odd Lot Entertainment and Summit Entertainment.

The film is based on the series of best-selling books authored by Orson Scott Card. Soo Hoo plays Fly Moto, a gifted child sent to an advanced military school in space to prepare for a future alien invasion after his homeland endured a horrific 70-year alien war.

Soo Hoo also has an essential recurring role on Nickelodeon's hit series Supah Ninjas, which allows him to exemplify his comedic talents while showcasing his extensive martial arts skills and abilities.

Having received training from the famed Groundlings Improv School, Soo Hoo has starred opposite many of the comedic greats such as Ken Jeong, a strong comedian that he admires; as well as Joel McHale in NBC's Community, Brad Garrett in Fox's Til Death, Anders Holm, Blake Anderson and Adam DeVine in Comedy Central's Workaholics, Jason Lee in NBC's My Name is Earl, many characters from Sesame Street, and Nickelodeon's television movie Everyday Kid, directed by Fred Savage.

With this list of credits, Soo Hoo will always be grateful for his breakout role in DreamWorks and Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder, in which he starred as Tran, the young militant leader of the Flaming Dragon Compound, opposite Ben Stiller, Robert Downey, Jr. and Jack Black. He was cast after a nationwide search to find the best child actor, who was also a martial artist.

This was Soo Hoo's introduction to the film community not only as an actor, but also as a master martial artist. The success of Tropic Thunder led to his next major film role as Young Storm Shadow in the Paramount Pictures blockbuster G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.

Soo Hoo is a five-time Young Artist Award winner and nominee. He has been nominated for two Best Actor awards for his recurring role in Nickelodeon's Supah Ninjas and his guest starring role in Comedy Central's Workaholics.

He won the prestigious Young Artist Award as Best Actor for his breakout role in Tropic Thunder and was nominated as Best Actor for his supporting role in Paramount Pictures' G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra as well as his guest starring role in NBC's Community.

Soo Hoo's love for the entertainment business started at a young age but it's his love for martial arts that got him noticed by the entertainment business. At the young age of five, he enrolled in his first Tae Kwon Do class and received his first black belt at age 10.

Soo Hoo then experimented with Wing Chun Kung Fu for a short time before he found his current passion, extreme martial arts, which combines martial arts with acrobatics and gymnastics with a strong emphasis in showmanship.

He trains personally with legendary martial artist Matt Mullins, the co-founder of XMA (Xtreme Martial Arts). Mullins also created the martial arts performance team called Sideswipe Live. Soo Hoo is a featured performer in the Sideswipe Live shows which incorporate movements from all styles of martial arts such as Wushu, Tae Kwon Do and Capoeira, combined with music and dance choreography to create a unique style of extreme martial arts performance.

He is also trained in weaponry such as nunchaku, bo staff and the sword.

Although born in America, Soo Hoo's Asian roots are very important to him. He has traveled to China and Hong Kong with his family and is on a personal mission to help have more projects produced and shot in the Orient.
