Ivan Shaw is an American actor who made his daytime debut in December 2002, playing young Henry Chin in the ABC daytime show All My Children.

Early life and education

Shaw moved from Taipei, Taiwan, to Upland, California, at age 4, where he grew up with his older brother, Eugene, who is also an aspiring actor, and their grandparents. He was a member of the Upland Chinese Presbyterian Church for some time.

Shaw attended Upland High School and later UCLA, where he studied mathematics, economics, and computer science.

Career

Shaw played lead roles in the off-Broadway production of Savage Love at New York City's Century Theatre and A Boy's Life at Shurin Studio, both of which received critical acclaim.

He went on to make a series of appearances on TV shows such as Haunted (as Tommy), CSI: NY (as Billy James), Charmed (as Attendant), The Closer (as Donnie), Monk (as a Rap Producer), The Mind of the Married Man (as Machiko), All My Children (as Henry Chin), General Hospital (as a Band Member), The Young and the Restless (as Alan), and Baywatch Hawaii. Shaw later appeared as Adam Webster on the short-lived and controversial NBC show The Book of Daniel.

Shaw has also appeared in feature films such as Get Him to the Greek (as a Pinnacle Executive), L!fe Happens (as Ivan #2), The Truth About Angels (as JC), and Rush Hour 2 (as a Triad Gangster). He also played the role of Tao in the short film Mission Chinese, directed by David Parker and Cole Schreiber (also known as Sunday Paper), and starring Ron Yuan and Elaine Tan.

In 2011, Shaw starred as the romantic lead opposite Kelly Hu in Bertha Bay-Sa Pan's feature film Almost Perfect, which also featured Edison Chen, Tina Chen, Roger Rees, and Christina Chang.

He has also been the associate producer for a film, The Time Being, starring Frank Langella and Wes Bentley, and directed by Nenad Cicin-Sain, which made its premiere at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.
