Lewis was only two when he did his first movie i.e. the 1990’s China Cry: A True Story. About the time he said—
“I was literally a baby playing a baby, my best acting. They paid me in toys.”
After that, decades of being in the industry and he had still not gotten his big hit, earning the likes of Prison Guard part in The Hangover Part III and a commando in Olympus Has Fallen.
When Lewis was offered to play Shatterstar in the 2018’s Deadpool 2, he thought this would be, his major break-out, until he found out that his character would die “horrific, hilarious and quick film deaths.”
He took this very badly to the extent that he retreated to meditate in the Japanese mountain town of Hakone.
Today, with Mortal Kombat, Lewis believes his stars have aligned for good. He considered this to be the best work of his career.
Moreover, he also starred in the Netflix martial arts film Wu Assassins: Fistful of Vengeance. At the time of this writing, he had already signed on to star as a Chinese-American CIA officer in Quantum Spy. Not to miss, he was hoping to be returning to Mortal Kombat in a sequel teased at the end of the film (released April 2021).
Is Lewis Tan Gay?

In the meantime, even if there is no known trace of his dating life in the real world, people curious may always look him up as a lover boy on screen— as Gaius Chau who falls for Minerva (played by actress Emily Beecham) in AMC’s television series, Into the Badlands, or the playboy character he is shown on the Netflix crime drama series Wu Assassins.
