| Yue is a full time actress, dancer, and on-air host based in Manhattan. She has hosted for various shows on AMC, MTV, Nickelodeon and high profile websites, portrayed a wide range of roles in features and short films, danced her heart out from Madison Square Garden to the Matrix: Reloaded, and appeared in numerous regional and national commercials, print ads, and industrials. In addition to performing, Yue also has discovered a love for writing and producing. She is currently writing, directing, and starring in a pilot to be pitched to various networks in 2009. Yue Xu, pronounced "you-ay shu," was originally born in Beijing, China and moved to the U.S. when she was 8 years old. Although she's spent most of her life in the U.S., she still speaks fluent Mandarin and stays connected to the Chinese culture. Yue lived in East Lansing, Michigan before moving to Fort Collins, Colorado. Fort Collins was a major culture shock. During her first day at Boltz Jr. High, an entire class hour was dedicated to students asking questions about Yue's cultural background. Hey, it's better to ask than to just assume. Upon graduating from Poudre High School, Yue attended University of California at Berkeley where she double majored in Business Administration and Sociology. While up North, she had the opportunity to be a Featured Dancer in "The Matrix: Reloaded." She worked hard for 4 days on set and knew right away that she wanted to pursue the entertainment field. As a result, Yue moved to LA after graduation and immediately signed with Dorothy Day Otis Agency (DDO) as a hip hop dancer. However, that wasn't the beginning of her career, it was just a taste. And her curiosity for the corporate world quickly took over and she accepted an offer at a strategic marketing consulting firm in Connecticut. Connecticut couldn't satisfy Yue, so she took a job as a strategic Brand Planner for an advertising agency in NYC. While she was happy at her job, she still reminisced about her days in the entertainment industry and was itching to find out where her potential could take her. Finally, in the summer of 2006, Yue made the difficult but confident decision to quit her job (and Corporate America) to pursue entertainment full time. IMDb |
