This
Chinese beauty is in her early thirties and her
success is still growing. Her immigrant parents
from China, raised her the American way, yet she
couldn't help but feel culturally alienated because
of her Asian background. She even stated: You go
through a period when you don't like being Asian;
you want to be 'American'. As she got older, she
started to accept herself, and that's when her career
literally took off. She went to high school at Stuyvesant
H.S., and went to New York University, where she
only stayed for one year, becasue she found that
it was a dark and sarcastic place. She then decided
to move to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbour
with a degree in Asian languages and cultures while
also studying acting, dancing and singing. Her career
ignited when she auditioned for a supporting role
in Andre Gregory's adaptation of Alice in Wonderland,
where she actually landed the lead role.
Obviously,
her language skills and martial arts are only one
aspect of all her skills. Her theater credits include
Numb, Redwood Curtain and M. Butterfly. She is also
a member of the Met Theater Development Ensemble.
Her breakthrough role came on September 21st 1998,
on Fox's Ally Mcbeal in the Episode They Eat Horses
Don't They. She took on the icy role of Ling Woo,
an assertive plant manager (and ex-lawyer) suing
a shock jock radio for sexual harassment. She is
now co-starring with Calista Flockhart as one of
the shows most compelling characters. She can also
be seen opposite of Mel Gibson in Payback where
she plays a dominatrix pearl of the Chinese Mafia.
This Chinese Hollywood star made many more notable
screen appearances. These include: City of Industry,
Tupac's Gridlock'd, and Jerry Maguire. She also
had roles on syndicated shows such as: Hercules:
TJL, X-Files, Beverly Hills 90210, Nash Bridges,
LA Law, Home Improvement, ER, NYPD Blues, and John
Quest. |
