Winston Chao is a Taiwanese actor. He graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Ming Chih Industrial Junior College (明志工業專科學校). After graduation, Chao worked as a ground staff member for Northwest Airlines (西北航空公司) and later as an in-flight attendant for China Airlines (中華航空公司) for eight years.

In 1992, following his father's death, Chao resigned from his job at China Airlines to focus on furthering his education at the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at National Taiwan University (國立臺灣大學) and then apply for studies in the United States, focusing on Western literature.

While preparing for his studies, Chao came across an advertisement by Taiwanese director Ang Lee (李安), who was looking for an English-speaking male lead for the film "The Wedding Banquet" (喜宴). Chao applied and was ultimately cast in the lead role, marking the beginning of his acting career.
