Parry Shen can be next seen starring in Lionsgate’s, “The Gene Generation” alongside Bai Ling and Faye Dunaway and “Fairy Tale Police” with Rachael Leigh Cook.

Ever since his breakout performance in MTV Films’ “Better Luck Tomorrow”, leading a group of over-achieving honor roll students into a downward spiral of crime, Parry has continued to showcase his wide range from Columbia Pictures’ comedy, “The New Guy” to newly-crowned horror classic, “Hatchet” with Robert Englund to 20th Century Fox’s romantic comedy, “First Daughter” with Katie Holmes. 

Parry’s television credits include: “MADtv”, “Criminal Minds”, “Without A Trace”, “Veronica Mars”, “NCIS”, “The King of Queens” and recurring on FX’s critically acclaimed “Thief” and ABC’s “Brothers & Sisters”. 

He’s been profiled on “Entertainment Tonight” and “Extra” as well as in Rolling Stone, People Magazine, The LA Times and The Wall Street Journal.

In the past 5 years, Parry has spoken at over 150 Universities in his spare time -- demystifying the Acting Business and sharing his experiences as an Asian American in the media to college students across the county. He is currently starting his fifth tour.

Parry is also co-editor of “Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology” (secretidentities.org), to be published in April 2009 by The New Press.

He resides in Southern California with his wife Kim and daughters Avery & Kori.
