Harry Shum Jr.
Dancing his way to the top
By Shona Dustan
TV Media
Some people seem to be born
with the knowledge of what
they’re meant to do with their
lives, but most of us are forced to
figure it out slowly and sometimes
painfully. Watching Harry Shum
Jr. perform certainly leaves one
with the impression that he was
always meant for the limelight,
but actually it was a high school
dare that set him on a path to
fame. Shum was born in Costa
Rica to Chinese parents, and his
family moved to San Francisco
when he was 6 years old. He
excelled at sports and enjoyed
theater, so when his friends dared
him to try out for his high school
dance team, he thought it would
be funny to give it a try. After all,
he had the required physicality
and theatrical nature — why not
see what happens when those
two strengths meet? The result
surprised him. He picked up dance
moves quickly and enjoyed every
minute. He idolized stars such as
Ginuwine and Usher and used
them as his initial inspiration, but
he soon grew to include steps
inspired by Fred Astaire and
Gene Kelly. He pursued an acting

career, which began with spots in
shows such as “Boston Public”
and “Greek,” and he found roles
that incorporated his dancing in
projects such as “You Got Served”
(2004), “Stomp the Yard” (2007)
and “Center Stage: Turn It Up”
(2008). This combination of ex-
perience and skill is what landed
him his big break: a role in the Fox
megahit “Glee.” Shum’s role was
initially a small, recurring one; he
played Mike Chang who, in the
first season, everyone knew only
as “Other Asian.” His character
spoke little but danced a lot, and
he stole every scene he was in. By
Season 3, Shum was promoted
to series regular and given in-
creasingly central storylines that
showcased his many talents,
which included singing — a real
triple threat! “Glee” launched
him into new opportunities, and
he went on to star in a number of
films and series such as “Caper,”
“Mortal Kombat: Legacy,” “Fire
City: End of Days” (2015) and
“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon:
Sword of Destiny” (2016). Since
2016, Shum has starred in the
ensemble drama “Shadowhunt-
ers,” which is based on the book
series “The Mortal Instruments.”
He plays Magnus Bane, the High
Warlock of Brooklyn, an ancient
being who helps the titular shad-
owhunters as they try to rid the
world of demons. He is the love
interest of Alec Lightwood (Mat-
thew Daddario, “Cabin Fever,”
2016), and the show’s positive
and progressive treatment of their
relationship has been celebrated
by the LGBTQ community. Part 2
of the final season of “Shadow-
hunters” premieres Monday, Feb.
25, on Freeform.
