"Let's Cafe" with Mark Chao

Mark Chao right now, has got to be Taiwan's Hottest Hunk! From modeling to TV Commercials, including his break out "Let's Cafe" ads for 7-11... to starring in Teen Soap Operas (and winning an award for Best Actor already on TV)... and now a full pledged movie star!!! This guy's flame burns fast and furious (just about 2 years in the biz)... and it seems that there is no signs of the fire burning out. The 24 year old actor was born in Taipei, Taiwan and grew up and educated in Canada.

Mark's Break Out Ad Campaign is for 7-11's "Lets Cafe"... I believe the TV commercial and the ads all over Taiwan just converted so many more into coffee drinkers....Mark, starred in the commercial with his actual dad. In the commercial, he plays an unsuccessful man in both love and work -- and turns to coffee to relieve his pressure. The company invited Mark's father, Zhao Shu Hai, to make a special appearance, relating coffee to the warmth that your family gives you.


Currently, Mark can be seen in the Taiwan Film, MONGA - based on the lives of a few misfits who grew up as gangsters in the 70's/80's Taiwan. This movie just added more to his HOTNESS STATUS in Taiwan. My feelings though about the movie, or the actors in it, including Mark, is quite different... that's for another BLOG though....
