My brother’s friend worked at a TV station, so we went in; the producer of a show asked if I wouldn’t mind taking some photos for his wife, who was a talent agent. Next thing I know, I’m enroute to the agency. – Godfrey Gao

After I grew some facial hair, I looked a bit older, and I guess that’s what the modeling world wanted because I started booking more luxury brands. – Godfrey Gao
I like a lot of food. I like Taiwanese food, of course. I like baguettes, especially the ones that my dad buys. Vancouver has a lot of variety, with pizza, hot dogs, Italian, Indian, seafood – a great combination of culture. – Godfrey Gao

In Asia, it is very hectic – there is no overtime, no holidays, no weekends. It’s pretty rushed because they are trying to cut the deadline. – Godfrey Gao
Hopefully I can go back and forth from the United States to Asia. I feel joint productions could be the way of the future. I’ll need a private plane to charter the international waters! – Godfrey Gao
I kind of got into TV when I went to visit a show my brother was working on. Soon I got the second lead in a TV show. – Godfrey Gao
