Roger Lim is an American Asian actor, director, producer, and screenwriter, currently in various stages of post-production on his AmerAsian Trilogy. Born and raised in San Francisco, California, he graduated from the University of San Francisco with a B.A. in Psychology. As a junior at nationally recognized Lowell High School (San Francisco), he was named All-City pitcher after winning his school’s first-ever playoff-championship game at Candlestick Park. After a career threatening rotator cuff injury his senior year, he managed to walk on as an outfielder his freshman year at USF, a squad in which 9 of his teammates went on to sign professional contracts. With his arm fully recovered, he made stops at both nationally ranked Los Angeles Pierce College, where he developed his catching skills, and Cal State Hayward, where he finished as the team’s second leading hitter. In between college seasons, he was fortunate enough to compete at third base in front of many professional scouts at recruitment camps for the Seattle Mariners, Philadelphia Phillies, and the Major League Scouting Bureau. After returning to USF to earn his degree, he converted to a full-time catcher, playing on various semi-pro teams around Northern and Southern California. Overall, he has competed with and against more than 100 players who have moved on to the professional ranks and into Major League Baseball. After settling in L.A., he began training concurrently in massage therapy and acting courses. During that time, he landed various talent agents, leading him to model in over 150 print ad campaigns including Mercedes, AT&T, Pizza Hut, Carnival Cruise Lines, and Mandalay Bay Resort. In addition to several industrial, television, and film appearances, one of the biggest highlights of his life came when dusted off his baseball gear to catch Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher, Hideo Nomo, in an international Nike commercial. His initial writing efforts were sparked by his acting instructor, Michelle Danner, while studying at the Larry Moss Studios. He soon began scripting his AmerAsian Trilogy, inspired entirely by his close personal relationships, revolving around his immensely challenging baseball journey.
