"Action Hero Disguised as Lovable Underdog"
Hymnson Chan is a dual citizen (born in Canada, raised in Boston) and rare multi-hyphenate with over 120 credits in TV & Film who excels as an award-winning stuntman, actor, writer, & director in Hollywood. With his comedic skills and surprising vulnerability, Hymnson has proven to be someone that audiences quickly connect with and want to root for.
​
His extensive acting credits are highlighted with roles such as a Recurring Guest Star on the final season of "CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM", the "Big Wave" guy on critically acclaimed "I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE WITH TIM ROBINSON", starring in an adventure-comedy film with Billy Zane, costarring opposite Jim Carrey on the TV series "Kidding", and countless National commercials.
​
As a writer, Hymnson is known for his action-packed scripts that showcase unlikely heroes who shatter stereotypes and inspire others to take chances with his goal to bring empathy and empowerment to marginalized communities through storytelling. Hymnson was a WINNER of WeScreenplay's TV Contest & Roadmap Writers' Pitch Competition, a comedy writer for NBC's Diversity Showcase, a FINALIST for the Stowe Story Labs, Urbanworld Film Festival, ISA Fast Track Fellowship, and the WeScreenplay Feature Lab, among many other screenwriting accolades.​​
​
​Despite all of his accomplishments, Hymnson's proudest role is being a father and husband. But he's also not shy about being a diehard Boston sports fan, animal rescue volunteer (has 2 rescue dogs), and completed 70+ escape rooms. Not to mention, he once won a taco eating contest at a random Cinco De Mayo festival in a Ralph's parking lot.
