Better Man star Remy Hii has been cast in US drama Marco Polo being produced for Netflix.

2013-07-08_1507Actor Remy Hii, whose performance on Better Man has landed him a Logie nomination, has been cast in US drama Marco Polo being produced for Netflix.

The drama created by John Fusco (Young Guns II) received a straight-to-series order order from Netflix and centres on the explorer’s journey that takes him to the centre of a brutal war in 13th century China, with martial arts, sexual intrigue, political skullduggery and spectacular battles.

The 10-episode series has begun filming in Venice before moving to Kazakhstan and the new Pinewood Studios in Malaysia.

Italian actor Lorenzo Richelmy will play the title role in the series, produced by Fusco and Harvey Weinstein.

Hii, who has also appeared on Neighbours, will be joined by Benedict Wong (Prometheus), Zhu Zhu (Cloud Atlas), Tom Wu (Skyfall), and Rick Yune (Olympus Has Fallen).

He is one of five actors in the running for the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Outstanding Newcomer at the Logies later this month.

Marco Polo will premiere in late 2014 in the US via Netflix.
