When actor Tzi Ma was in elementary school, his family moved from Hong Kong to New York, where they ran a Chinese restaurant on Staten Island. As the youngest of seven children, Ma found another father figure in a brother 18 years his senior who, with the move, left behind a promising career in architecture. Working in the restaurant, he always seemed moody to his kid brother, who could “see the silence” within him. Ma didn’t find out what his brother had given up until years later.
