Whether he ’ s a professional actor in high-profile TV series like Supernatural , The Flash , and Arrow , to name a few , the producer for over a dozen short films , or an entrepreneur involved in Vancouver ’ s vibrant restaurant scene , Osric Chau is actually a magician in disguise . Creating magic is what he does best , on-screen for his audiences , and off-screen for foodies alike looking for a magical culinary experience .
Given how much he has accomplished , Osric was perhaps one of the easiest-going individuals I ’ ve ever met , professional actors or not . As I stood to the side observing his photoshoot , it became clear to me why he was so well-loved by his over half a million social followers . Extremely accommodating with a great sense of humour , Osric entertained the occasionally absurd requests from the photoshoot team in order to create that money shot for the magazine cover – that magic he seeks to create in whatever he does . Along with sharing some good laughs with us that day , Osric also divulges how he became a member of the Canadian National Wushu
