## Early life and modeling
Mike He was born in Taipei in 1983 and attended Xisong Elementary School, Minsheng Junior High School, and Xisong High School.[6](https://www.newton.com.tw/wiki/%E8%B3%80%E8%BB%8D%E7%BF%94/204968) He was active in sports from childhood, placing second in the high jump at an elementary school sports meet, winning first place in the senior boys' division of a national jianzi (shuttlecock) championship in 2001, and taking seventh place in a C-level boxing category at the 2002 national high school games, a result that earned him a recommended admission to National Taiwan Sport University.[6](https://www.newton.com.tw/wiki/%E8%B3%80%E8%BB%8D%E7%BF%94/204968)
His nickname Xiao Mei (小美, "little beauty") dates from middle school: because the actor He Yi-hang had played a cross-dressing character called He Xiao Mei on television, He's classmates gave him the same nickname.[6](https://www.newton.com.tw/wiki/%E8%B3%80%E8%BB%8D%E7%BF%94/204968) He entered modeling after being spotted by the editor of the magazine *men's uno* while shopping for boxing equipment with classmates, and he signed with an agency while still a university freshman.[7](https://dramago.ptsplus.tv/articles/17023/)
## Idol drama career
His first screen work was the music video for Lee Hsin-chieh's (李心洁) song "Ai Cuo" (爱错), followed by his first television series, *Seventh Grade* (七年级生), in 2003, in which he played former track team member Xu Liushan.[6](https://www.newton.com.tw/wiki/%E8%B3%80%E8%BB%8D%E7%BF%94/204968) • [8](https://news.tvbs.com.tw/entertainment/1768375) In interviews he recalled that his first scene, opposite [Ariel Lin](https://www.edgepedia.org/ariel-lin), required 20 to 30 takes, with three or four cameras filming him simultaneously.[8](https://news.tvbs.com.tw/entertainment/1768375)
**Breakthrough.** In 2004 he took his first leading role, as swim team captain Liu Jiandong in *Love Contract* (爱情合约), again opposite Ariel Lin.[1](https://asianwiki.com/Mike_He) • [6](https://www.newton.com.tw/wiki/%E8%B3%80%E8%BB%8D%E7%BF%94/204968) 2005 was his breakthrough year: *Devil Beside You* (恶魔在身边), in which he played the domineering Jiang Meng opposite [Rainie Yang](https://www.edgepedia.org/rainie-yang), and *Express Boy* (恶男宅急电) with Xu Wei Lun were both among the best rated Taiwanese series that year, and his dramas became popular overseas as well.[1](https://asianwiki.com/Mike_He) • [6](https://www.newton.com.tw/wiki/%E8%B3%80%E8%BB%8D%E7%BF%94/204968) The long-haired, rebellious "bad boy" image he established in *Love Contract* and *Devil Beside You* led a wave of Taiwanese "flower boy" (花样美男) heartthrobs, and he repeated the formula in *Why Why Love* (换换爱) and *Bull Fighting* (斗牛，要不要), both 2007.[7](https://dramago.ptsplus.tv/articles/17023/) • [9](https://www.myvideo.net.tw/person/%E8%B3%80%E8%BB%8D%E7%BF%94_S0010206/)
## Move to film and mainland China
He made his film debut in the science-fiction action film *Future X-Cops* (未来警察), released in 2010, appearing alongside [Andy Lau](https://www.edgepedia.org/andy-lau), Fan Bingbing, and [Barbie Hsu](https://www.edgepedia.org/barbie-hsu).[5](https://www.iq.com/actor-info/mike-he-215336205?_from=iqiyi&lang=en_us) In 2010 he also starred in *Sunny Happiness* (幸福最晴天), his first work broadcast in the mainland Chinese market, and in the film *You Deserve to Be Single* (活该你单身), for which he was nominated for Best Actor in the Media Award at the 13th Shanghai International Film Festival.[6](https://www.newton.com.tw/wiki/%E8%B3%80%E8%BB%8D%E7%BF%94/204968) • [5](https://www.iq.com/actor-info/mike-he-215336205?_from=iqiyi&lang=en_us) In 2012 he won the Most Audience Appeal Artist award at the Asian Idol Awards for the mainland series *Jia You Mama* (加油妈妈).[10](https://www.tvmao.com/star/VSIw)
He spent much of the following decade working in mainland China. He returned to Taiwanese drama in 2020 with *The Devil Punisher* (天巡者), playing the ghost king Zhong Kui after six years without a Taiwanese production; he said the fantasy role, with its post-production effects, gave him a "Marvel" feeling on set.[11](https://news.tvbs.com.tw/entertainment/1404790) Later Taiwanese and Chinese credits include *Cambrian Period* (2017), *Tree in the River* (2018), and *The Lion's Secret* (2021).[4](https://www.tvmaze.com/people/113286/mike-he)
## Imperfect Us and the Golden Bell nomination
In 2024 He starred as He Rui-zhi (何瑞之) in *Imperfect Us* (不够善良的我们), an eight-episode series written and directed by Mag Hsu (徐誉庭) and co-produced by Public Television Service and [Taiwan Mobile](https://www.edgepedia.org/taiwan-mobile)'s MyVideo, with Ariel Lin, Tiffany Hsu, and Kai Ko as his co-stars.[12](https://www.pts.org.tw/zh_tw/pr/latestnews/%E8%B3%80%E8%BB%8D%E7%BF%94%E7%82%BA%E3%80%8A%E4%B8%8D%E5%A4%A0%E5%96%84%E8%89%AF%E7%9A%84%E6%88%91%E5%80%91%E3%80%8B%E4%B8%80%E5%A4%95%E7%99%BD%E9%A0%AD-13090207) • [13](https://about.pts.org.tw/pr/latestnews/article/5414) The role marked a deliberate break from his idol-drama image: he cut his long hair into a buzz cut and bleached it white over eight hours to play a weathered middle-aged husband, a look he accepted without persuasion.[12](https://www.pts.org.tw/zh_tw/pr/latestnews/%E8%B3%80%E8%BB%8D%E7%BF%94%E7%82%BA%E3%80%8A%E4%B8%8D%E5%A4%A0%E5%96%84%E8%89%AF%E7%9A%84%E6%88%91%E5%80%91%E3%80%8B%E4%B8%80%E5%A4%95%E7%99%BD%E9%A0%AD-13090207) Hsu, who had warned him at their first meeting that "this is not an idol drama," directed him to abandon the camera-seeking habits of television drama production in favor of more naturalistic acting.[7](https://dramago.ptsplus.tv/articles/17023/) • [14](https://news.tvbs.com.tw/exhibition/golden-bell-awards/2024/interview_8.html)
The series topped ratings on multiple platforms during its April 2024 run, and viewers praised He's performance, with some writing public apologies for having underestimated his acting.[15](https://about.pts.org.tw/pr/latestnews/article/5428) He was nominated for Best Actor in a [Miniseries](https://www.edgepedia.org/miniseries) or TV Movie at the 59th Golden Bell Awards for the role.[3](https://moviecool.asia/person/gw1XLb6GOSc)
## 2024 allegation and aftermath
In May 2024 He was accused of sexual assault by a female dealer at a hostess club, and police searched his residence to preserve evidence; through his lawyer he denied any improper conduct with a third party.[16](https://www.cna.com.tw/news/amov/202405270313.aspx) In June 2024 the production of the series *Youqi Yu Shufulei* (邮票与舒芙蕾) replaced him with actor Chang Hsiao-chuan, citing the pending case.[17](https://pdf.secretchina.com/WashingtonDC/2025_04_18_999/DC_KZG_999.pdf) • [18](https://news.videoland.com.tw/article/fd4fd416-8bfc-4750-9bae-7140f72ce856.html) In September 2024 the Taipei District Prosecutors Office found the evidence insufficient and issued a non-indictment; because neither the prosecutor nor the complainant sought a review, the decision became final.[19](https://www.cna.com.tw/news/amov/202504160263.aspx)
He reappeared in public in April 2025, saying he had spent the intervening months with his family and had continued to receive drama offers, though he had not found a role he wanted to play; he also described a chronic lower back injury, a pars fracture (椎弓解离) suffered while practicing dunking during the filming of *Seventh Grade* more than two decades earlier, which he manages with pain medication rather than surgery.[19](https://www.cna.com.tw/news/amov/202504160263.aspx)
