Shuang Hu’s got this wild, winding story that honestly feels like it should be a movie itself. Born in Tianjin, China, she packed up with her family and landed in Australia at the age of five—talk about a culture shock, right? Fast forward a bit, and she’s out here hustling in the acting game, fully based in Los Angeles now, chasing that big Hollywood dream. But don’t get it twisted, her roots are all over her work. She first popped up on people’s radar with her role as Candy Law in ‘The Family Law’ over on SBS. If you ever caught that show between 2016 and 2019, you’ll remember her—she brought this realness to the character, juggling comedy and some heavy family drama like she was born for it. Not long after, she showed up on Comedy Central’s ‘Ronny Chieng: International Student’ as Wei Jun. That show’s a trip, poking fun at all the awkwardness of being an outsider, and Shuang just nails the vibe—a perfect blend of sass, smarts, and that fish-out-of-water chaos. What’s cool about her is she’s not just coasting on one vibe; she bounces between different kinds of roles, never really getting boxed in. It’s like she’s got this radar for stories that need a little more heart or a sharper punchline. And now, living in LA, she’s basically bridging worlds—bringing all this Chinese-Australian flavor to the States, and honestly, it feels like she’s just getting started.
referencennShuang was actually supposed to play Liuli (or Jennifer, depending on which side of the world you're on) in the Sydney Theatre Company's 2017 take on Lucy Kirkwood's play, Chimerica. But, life had other plans—she ended up dropping out because of a schedule clash with another filming gig. You know how it goes in showbiz: double bookings, contracts, and suddenly you’re stuck choosing between two really good gigs. Anyway, her exit meant the production had to scramble to recast the role before opening night. Bit of a bummer for fans who wanted to see her tackle that character, especially since Chimerica is one of those plays that juggles big, messy themes—think politics, identity, the East-West culture clash. Shuang’s casting had definitely made some waves at the time, so her withdrawal got people talking. Still, the show must go on, as they say, and someone else stepped in to fill those shoes.
