Roger Fan is one of the industry’s most interesting and exciting young personalities, redefining the leading man aesthetic through a wide variety of projects as an actor, host, and motivational speaker. Rave reviews from international critics such as Roger Ebert, Richard Roper, Peter Travers, and Elvis Mitchell have pointed out that Roger is a “charismatic and fearless persona with a limitless future.” His film credits are impressive, including lead roles in IFC Film’s FINISHING THE GAME, Paramount’s BETTER LUCK TOMORROW, Disney’s ANNAPOLIS, and Touchstone’s CORKY ROMANO. Roger also co-wrote, co-produced, and adventure-hosted the surprise, Sundance comedic hit, THE QUEST FOR LENGTH. Most recently, Roger wrapped production on Judd Apatow’s DRILLBIT TAYLOR and Academy Award Winner, Jessica Yu’s PING PONG PLAYA (2007 Toronto International Film Festival). Roger’s progressive work in film has endeared him as a role model to many of America’s youth. He dedicates his free time spreading the message of self-empowerment and hope as a motivational speaker, inspiring nearly 100,000 young adults, in person, over the past 5 years. Roger has been honored with the “PACE-SETTER Award”, the “Multicultural Prisim Award”, an AXA nomination, and, most recently, the “Distinguished Moviemaker Mentor Award” by The Creative Coalition, alongside actors Joe Pantoliano, Lea Thompson, & Ione Skye. Roger has been spotlighted in numerous publications, including Premier & Vibe Magazine, and guest hosted on MTV Chi and the International Channel. He currently lives in Los Angeles.
