Early life and education
Although born in Beijing, when he was four years old, Kurt moved with his parents to the USA, first to Iowa, then Arizona, before settling in Ohio, where Kurt spent most of his childhood.
Unlike many actors, Kurt hadn’t dreamed about becoming an actor; he had an interest in math and computers, and the only acting experience that he had was when he played a horse in a school play.

Kurt then launched his career as a software developer at a Fortune 500 Company, in Cleveland, and as he said, he was satisfied with his life and career. One Saturday night, Kurt was hanging out with his friends, and when walking back to their cars, he noticed an ad in a storefront. The Houde School of Acting was looking for new students, and since Kurt was looking for some hobby to have after work, he applied.
However, although he thought this would just be something fun to do after work, this decision changed his life, and a year after his first class, he signed with a talent agency and started auditioning. In 2014, he quit his job, and two years later moved to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue his acting career.
