Eddie Huang is a filmmaker, actor, chef and television personality who made his feature directorial debut with the 2021 basketball drama BOOGIE for Focus Features, which he also wrote and co-starred in opposite Pop Smoke and Taylour Paige. His autobiographical book, Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir, was adapted into a critically acclaimed ABC comedy series of the same name, which completed its six-season run in 2020. Huang also owned the iconic, Baohaus, for 10 years, which ushered in a generation of Taiwanese-Chinese restaurants and launched his career hosting cooking shows including Cheap Bites & Unique Eats. Eddie also hosted Huang’s World for Vice, which ran for 4 seasons and followed Eddie as he travelled around the world to learn about the local history, culture and food.
Eddie is currently in post-production on a highly anticipated documentary about the rise and fall of Vice Media, which he directed and stars in. In the wake of Vice Media’s bankruptcy, Eddie Huang takes you on a rough, rugged and raw first-person journey through the wreckage exploring how Vice went up and ultimately came crashing down. The film, Vice is Broke, is being produced by QC Entertainment (Get Out, BlacKkKlansman) and Ca$h Only Production and set to premiere opening night at the Toronto Film Festival.
