Dylan Kuo

In 2003, he made his acting debut in small roles, his most notable one for the idol series The Rose, playing one of Cecilia Yip's character Han Li's younger boyfriends. He had originally auditioned for the role "Han Jin" which Jerry Huang was eventually cast in. The director was impressed with his audition and decided to bring him back for a cameo role. After being offered more acting roles, Kuo was then signed under Duo Man Ni Productions to manage all his acting activities while Catwalk Production House still managed his advertisement and modeling activities.

In 2004, he got his big break playing the lead role in the television series The Outsiders, a drama about triad gangs in Taipei. After the success of The Outsiders and its sequel The Outsiders II, Kuo was invited by Hong Kong Director Joe Ma to play the lead in the 2005 Hong Kong film Embrace Your Shadow opposite Hong Kong singer-actress Fiona Sit.

For his film debut in Embrace Your Shadow, he plays a small-time cat burglar from Taiwan living in Hong Kong who has to deal with love and triads issues. His character "Juchin" was to originally only speak Mandarin, since director Joe Ma was aware that Kuo did not speak any Cantonese, but wanting to look believable as a person living in Hong Kong, Kuo decided to speak his lines as much as possible in Cantonese. In the behind-the-scenes footage of the film, Kuo can be seen asking the director and production crew on how to pronounce his lines in Cantonese. The film was well-received and he was invited to film another Hong Kong movie, the horror film Black Night.

In 2008, he signed with Hong Kong entertainment management company Emperor Entertainment Group to handle all his activities for the Hong Kong market due to his growing popularity in Hong Kong. After previously playing romantic, tough, cool and reserved characters, Kuo made his first foray into comedy, playing the dorky, nerdy and immature character "Ning Huan Yu" in CTS's 2008 romantic comedy Prince + Princess 2.

In 2009, Kuo made his debut in the Mainland China drama market and since then has mainly concentrated his career there. In 2010, he signed to Taiwanese music and entertainment company HIM International Music, where the company will manage his music, advertisements, modelling and acting activities.[4]

In 2007, he started his music career signing under record label Warner Music Taiwan. His first album released was Not Anymore. Kuo also occasionally performs the theme songs of the dramas he has acted in.
