Vic Chao graduated from Stanford University in Mechanical Engineering and developed medical devices. He quit because engineering sucks. (Okay, to be honest, engineering's actually really cool--Vic loves technology, innovation, creativity, and ingenuity. However, the stereotypical engineering mindset which emphasizes data, tests, and not being wrong over intuition, decisions, and aggressiveness drives him bonkers. All the same, there's something to be said for that deliberate engineering mindset when you're driving over a bridge.) Since Vic became an actor, his co-workers have suddenly become much better looking and significantly poorer.

Vic acted for 2 years in Chicago, highlighted by a stint as Da Bull, the mascot for the Chicago Bulls (whereupon his co-workers suddenly became much taller and ridiculously richer). Vic is a gymnast, an avid (yet curiously bad) player of Dance Dance Revolution, and a crossword enthusiast. He has also been a cheerleader, a contender on the original American Gladiators Live Tour, and a slam-dunking entertainer for the LA Clippers. Vic's talent and professionalism have continually propelled him upward to many guest-star, recurring, and lead roles, but he is most proud of his work as the title character in Waiting For Godot.

Currently, there are some exciting potential projects for Vic on the horizon. But Vic's getting sick of looking to the horizon. Where's the stardom? Where's the champagne and red carpets? VIC WANTS HIS PARADE RIGHT NOW!

Ahem, to continue...one of these days, Vic will have a professional, well-maintained website continually updated with the whirlwind activities of his life. For instance, today Vic ate a pear. It will also feature a downloadable guide to getting into acting. And a real photo album, with both professional and personal pictures. And maybe a stupid flash intro that takes 30 seconds to load and forces you to watch it every single time you visit the site. Jeez, I hate those.

Vic doesn't take his biography seriously enough. It's kind of difficult when I'm sitting on the couch at 1:30am on a Wednesday night with a rerun of "Will and Grace" on the TV set. And as long as I'm no longer talking in in the 3rd person, I'd just like to say, "Yeah, I know this website could be better. gimme a break-- it's a miracle enough that I actually updated the resume page today."

In the meantime, I'm preparing for a 4 week trip to Asia--yeah, baby! Gonna hit Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore! Maybe when I come back, I'll have something cool for a website--assuming that the website magically forms while I'm on vacation (kinda like mold on strawberries). We'll see.

I'll let you know when I get a really cool website going. Actually, I may not even know you, in which case, you'll just have to come back. But the magically self-constructed website should have a "What's New" link, so you can instantly tell what's been updated with the website.

Another thing I'll have is a link to my blog, which will detail all the exciting activities in my life. For instance, did I mention that I ate a pear today? Thanks for tuning in.
