Anthony Ma is an award-winning actor, filmmaker and voiceover artist born & raised in Arcadia, CA.

Ever since the ripe young age of 5 (and after watching Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective), Anthony knew what he wanted to do: be Jim Carrey. But eventually that goal evolved into acting and filmmaking which unfortunately didn’t lessen his poor mother’s headaches.

Anthony’s short film, “Chinese Antique” (2009), screened at numerous film festivals around the country and received several audience choice awards. His feature, Elevator (2015), which was filmed in Los Angeles, New York, and Japan garnered an “Honorable Mention for Screenwriting” at DisOrient Asian Film Festival. His latest feature was written/directed by Sundance-alum Tanuj Chopra called Staycation (2018), which premiered at the final LA Film Festival and received the “LA Muse Award”.

As an actor, he has most notably guest starred on the hit ABC series Scandal and the CBS action series S.W.A.T.

He garnered much attention for the leading role in Before I Got Famous, an original comedy series for the streaming service, Revry TV. He was awarded Best New Actor by the LA Asian Pacific FF for the rom-com indie feature Love Arcadia. He has also made appearances on Quantum Leap, This Is Us, Mom, Dear White People, NCIS:LA, The Mentalist, Castle, Shameless, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!

An active member in his community, he co-founded and served as the Executive Director of the Taiwanese American Film Festival from 2017-2019 where he aimed to create a platform for filmmakers to connect, celebrate and showcase their stories.

One of Anthony’s goals is to tell bold and unique stories that reveal the multi-faceted history and culture of being Asian in America.
