Wang Ban has been an actor for about three decades. But he’s currently playing one of the most challenging yet meaningful characters of his career, Chairman Mao Zedong.

He’s gone the extra mile to get into character, even adding 15 pounds in weight.

Reflecting on his career, Wang says he hopes to bring a little faith to the audience through each performance.
