What Has Archie Kao Been Up To Since Leaving Chicago PD? – Looper

Since “Chicago P.D.,” Archie Kao has appeared in several Chinese and Taiwanese films and TV shows. Between 2017 and 2018, Kao appeared in eight episodes of “Nothing Gold Can Stay” and 11 episodes of “My Dear Boy.” While the latter is a romantic series in which Kao’s character Xiao Ye Shi is unfortunately dumped by his girlfriend, who pursues another man, “Nothing Gold Can Stay” is a very dramatic adventure series about a young woman, Zhou Ying, and her life and struggles during the 19th century as a female merchant. 

Outside of his television show career, Kao was in the 2021 holiday film “Christmas at the Ranch.” The film follows a young woman named Haley (Laur Allen), who returns home for Christmas. While Haley’s career is about to implode, and her dating life is struggling, she stays at home when she finds out her family’s ranch is on the brink of foreclosure. During her stay, she meets and falls in love with Kate (Amanda Righetti), the hired ranch hand. Kao portrays Charlie, Haley’s brother. Charlie is the child who stayed behind to run the family business and doesn’t want to disappoint Meemaw (Lindsay Wagner). It would also break his heart too, though he might not admit it right away. 

At the time of this publication, Kao has not been in any projects since 2021’s “Christmas at the Ranch.”
