Liu Hsiu-fu (Chinese: 劉修甫; born 1997) is a Taiwanese actor best known for his debut role as Chung Kuo-yen in the PTS series On Children (2018), which earned him a nomination for Best Newcomer in a Miniseries in the 54th Golden Bell Awards.

Early life and education

Liu was born in 1997 in Taiwan. He has an elder sister who studied abroad in Hong Kong. His parents divorced when he was in kindergarten, and the siblings were raised by their father. Liu described his relationship with his father as close and his childhood as one spent in a "strict household", which contributed to him achieving good academic results. He attended a private school starting in junior high, and was a member of the rock club in high school. He later enrolled at National Taichung University of Science and Technology, graduating with a Bachelor of Design, majoring in product design. During his university years, he was invited by a friend to star in a senior's graduation film project, which sparked his interest in acting, and he also worked as a model for magazine covers and advertisements.

Career

When Liu was in his third year of university, he participated in an audition on his sister's recommendation. He was selected by director Chen Wei-ling, who found his "melancholic aura" very suitable for the role after seeing him at casting. Liu made his debut at the age of 19 as Chung Kuo-yen in the segment "Child of the Cat" of the 2018 PTS series On Children, starring alongside Chung Hsin-ling. His performance earned him a nomination for Best Newcomer in a Miniseries or Television Film in the 54th Golden Bell Awards, and prompted him to move to Taipei to work full-time as an actor after receiving the nomination. Following his debut, Liu starred as Ying Si-de, the stepbrother of the characters played by Pets Tseng and JC Lin [zh], in the 2019 drama series The World Between Us, and took on a main role as Bryan Chang's deceased brother in the 2020 series The Haunted Heart [zh].

In 2021, he appeared in a supporting role in the sci-fi thriller Plurality, and was named Top Talent by the Taipei Film Festival. Liu played another significant role as Guan Heng-da, the younger brother of the male lead played by Marcus Chang, in the 2023 romance series Trick or Love [zh]. In 2024, he appeared as the son of characters played by Christopher Lee and Tien Hsin who suffers from ALS, in the sci-fi series Q18 Quantum Dice [zh]. That same year, Liu landed his first lead role in the feature film Pierce, a Singapore-Taiwan-Poland project, where he played Zijie, a fencer and the younger brother of a former fencing champion portrayed by Tsao Yu-ning. John Lui of The Straits Times praised Liu's "breakthrough performance", which captures "both the physical demands of competitive fencing and the psychological complexity of a young man"; while John Berra of Screen Daily described Liu's portrayal as "wholly empathetic", naturally reflecting the character's youthful and skeptic nature.
