Kelly Hu



Kelly Hu is an actress, model, and voice actor. From Honolulu, Hawaii Kelly's ethnic background includes Native Hawaiin, Chinese, and English.
Before she became a star she was crowned Miss Hawaii Teen USA, she became the first Asian-American to win the title of Miss Teen USA in 1985.

2 years later in 1978 she would have her acting debut in the TV show Growing Pains, she appeared in three episodes. In 1989, she would make her film debut in the godawful Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. 
Kelly would later make appearances in many TV shows like 21 Jump Street, Melrose Place, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, CSI: NY, Robot Chicken, Phineas and Ferb, and many others. She is "China White" in the CW TV show Arrow, which Kelly shows off a sexy but totally badass role as a villain. She was also in The 100 but from some reason her character disappeared from the show. It is quite weird as her character held a high position in the show.

Kelly appears to have played a lot of stereotypical roles like being the best friend to the mean girl (Friday the 13th Part VIII), various different Asian roles like Vietnamese DJ, several Japanese and Chinese characters. But those roles haven't stopped her from becoming a star on many levels.

Besides her roles in TV shows and films, Kelly has also done voice acting for video games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II- The Sith Lords, Fracture, Afro Samurai, Sleeping Dogs, Batman: Arkham Origins, Mortal Kombat X, and a few others.

She also serves as an activist, supporting the Center for Asian Americans United for Self-Empowerment. She appears to have made appearances as a driver in a celebrity race, a celebrity host for Saving the Children, as a poker player in a celebrity tournament all for the name of charity. She also supported the shark fin ban in Hawaii and is active in protecting Hawaiin ecology.

Kelly Hu is a wonderful person, not only does she make a good example for young women and Americans but also humans all over the world. She is proof that there are good celebrities out there.
