Anton Feng

Anton Feng’s got that rare mix you don’t see too often. Born to a Chinese mom and a German dad, the guy’s got roots that stretch from Europe all the way to the heart of Shanghai, where he’s calling home these days. People might know his face from his breakout role as Zhang Jia Xin in “Her Story”—or “Hao Dong Xi” if you’re more into the original lingo. He seriously nailed it, bringing just the right amount of edge and depth to a role that could’ve felt flat in someone else’s hands. But acting? That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Anton’s not one of those one-trick ponies. When he’s not on set, you’re just as likely to find him tearing up the stage in a musical or jamming out on a guitar or piano. And then, just to make everyone else look bad, the guy’s got some serious skills on the soccer field. Not really fair, is it? There’s something about Anton’s vibe that’s both down-to-earth and a little bit mysterious, like he’s got a story you want to hear but he’s not spilling everything all at once. Folks in the industry keep an eye out for him, and honestly, who can blame them? With his background, talent, and that weird, effortless charm, Anton Feng’s got “next big thing” written all over him. Shanghai’s big, but it’s starting to feel a bit small for someone like him. Watch this space.
