Member of the China Youth Arts Theatre Company.
Liu Ye's acting talents were apparent right from his first movie, "Postman in the Mountains", for which he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at China's 1999 Golden Rooster Awards. Shortly after his graduation from Central Academy of Drama, Liu Ye won Best Actor at Taiwan's 38th Golden Horse Awards for his bold and splendid performance as a gentle, sensitive homosexual in the movie Lan Yu in 2001. Three years later, he clinched Best Actor with his role in the movie Foliage at the 24th Golden Rooster Awards. Several of his movies have also participated in international film festivals, Balzac and the Little Seamstress, Purple Butterfly, Floating Landscape, etc. His latest award winner is Dark Matter, which won the Alfred Sloan Award at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Instead of making use of his good physical appearance to become a teeny idol, Liu Ye has chosen the tough path of continuously challenging himself by taking on difficult roles. From simple, honest, and down-to-earth "peasant-like" roles, introvert and melancholic persona, to manly and Casanova roles, Liu Ye has convinced not only the audience, but also well-established international directors, of his remarkable acting skills.
