In 2012 he began starring with co-workers from Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash including Kevin Smith, Walt Flanagan, Mike Zapcic, and Bryan Johnson on Comic Book Men. Ming is often made fun of as part of his role on Comic Book Men, due to his long friendships with Bryan and Walt. Comic Book Men was shot for seven seasons from 2012 up until 2018.
Ming Chen was born in Ohio and attended the University of Michigan. He graduated with a degree in communications which has certainly come in handy with his chosen career path.
