Lawrence Kao

Kao was born and raised in Hacienda Heights, California, where he later graduated from Glen A. Wilson High School. He played Lysander in his high school's production of ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''. However, during one of the in-class previews of the show, Kao was falsely arrested for attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon. If convicted, the minimum sentencing would have been 40 years behind bars. Kao was later released in the absence and lack of probable cause, giving him enough time to make it before the closing night of the show. After being forced to contemplate his life inside jail, Kao realized he wanted to pursue acting as a profession. Kao received his B.A. in theater from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), where he was a part of Kaba Modern dance team. Within the dancing community on campus, he befriended the Kinjaz dance team cofounders Mike Song and Anthony Lee. == Career ==

Acting He pursued a full-time career as an actor. Starting out, he found that including his dancing credentials on his resume would always elicit a dance request at auditions, so he removed it after several incidents. Kao reprised his role in the sequel film Fistful of Vengeance. It was released on February 17, 2022. Dance After graduating from UCI, Kao continued working as a dancer, and later competed in the first season of MTV's ''America's Best Dance Crew'' with his college dance team, Kaba Modern. As of June 2019, Kao is dancing with the Kinjaz dance team. ==Filmography==
