Lucy-Liu

Lucy Liu is a voice actress singer and director. She is also an actor. An attractive, clever and talented actor, she's an model for Asian actors who are aspiring to be big stars in Hollywood. In the wake of a number of first appearances on popular TV shows, she gained fame after joining the cast of the legal comedy show Ally McBeal where she played the sly Ling Woo. Her sudden fame translated into films roles like Shanghai Noon or Charlie's Angels. She then delivered a superlative performance in the role of Japanese crime lord O-Ren Ishii as the Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill Volume 1. In the same period she was also in box-office flops like Rise: Blood Hunter. In the following years, she started to voice prominent characters in animated films, such including Kung Fu Panda and Tinker Bell. Mia Mason, in Cashmere Mafia and other small-screen parts, did not achieve any kind of success. The role she played in the critically-acclaimed police drama Southland has helped her regain recognition as an established actress. Liu picks her roles wisely to avoid becoming typecast in this competitive industry. She has accepted her Chinese roots but she doesn't allow it to limit her artistically.
