Man Crush Monday: On The Hunt With Godfrey Gao

The original Magnus Bane casts a spell on us.

We're more than thrilled that Harry Shum has taken the role of Magnus Bane in ABC Family's upcoming series Shadowhunters. But we also miss the man who played Bane in The Mortal Instruments movie: Godfrey Gao.

Born in Taipei to Malaysian mom and Taiwanese dad, Gao spend his childhood in Vancouver. He returned to Taiwan in 2004, though, and started a successful acting and modeling career.

Though 2013's The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones marked Gao's first American role, he had already appeared in numerous Asian films and TV shows, graced the cover of Numero Homme and Esquire, and was the first Asian male to model signed by Louis Vuitton.

He'll next appear in Heo In-moo's romantic comedy Wedding Bible, but if your Chinese is rusty you can soak up plenty of Gao below.
