He has a background in theater

While Hii has most notably starred in movies and shows, he actually has a background in theater. He got his start in acting at age 19 when he starred in The Estimator produced by the Queensland Theatre Company in Australia.

Hii told DA MAN magazine that he got interested in acting after his mother took him to a lot of theater productions growing up. "[It] led to me sitting there thinking 'I want to do that!' And then when I grew up, I saw the lack of Asian representation in the shows I was watching a challenge to try and change the industry and be a role model for others Queensland Theatre Company."

He almost starred in a Jane the Virgin spinoff

In 2019, Hii was cast as one of the leads for The CW's Jane the Virgin spinoff, titled Jane the Novela. Similar to the love triangle on Jane the Virgin, the story was set to revolve around a young woman named Estela who is torn between two different guys. Lii was seemingly set to play the Michael character as Estela's "sweet, dependable, long-term boyfriend." Unfortunately, though, The CW eventually passed on the series.

He's a photographer

On top of being a talented actor and musician, Hii also takes photos in his spare time. If you follow him on Instagram, you can see some of his photography, including behind-the-scenes photos from filming.

He was in an indie rock band

While studying at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Australia, Hii was in an indie rock band called RAPIDS. "I played in a band with my best friends for six years, and got about as successful as you can get as an Australian indie band," he told DA MAN. "We toured and played festivals and supported some great acts but it definitely got me into trouble at drama school when I had to sneak out of a dress rehearsal so I could get to a gig on time."
