Andrea Bang born May 2, 1989, '[1] is a Canadian actress and screenwriter from Burnaby, British Columbia. She is best known for playing Janet Kim in the CBC comedy Kim's Convenience, for which she was nominated three times at the Canadian Screen Awards. She has appeared in A Million Little Things, Fresh and Running with Violet.

Background

Bang was born in Burnaby, British Columbia[1][2] to Korean immigrant parents.[3] Her sister, Diana Bang, is also an actress and writer.[3] Bang attended Burnaby North Secondary School[4] and was in the chorus in a school production of Bye Bye Birdie.[5][6]

Bang graduated in 2012 with a degree in psychology from University of British Columbia, while also taking acting lessons.[3][7] In 2017, she told the Vancouver Sun: <templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

For the longest time, I kept my interest in acting a secret. Minus a select few, no one really knew. I played around with so many different non-acting career paths. Finally, one day I said 'screw it.' I got an agent and a job that allowed me to audition—and the rest is history.[5]

Bang's parents, who had immigrated from Korea,[6] initially found it "distressing" that Andrea and her sister, Diana, had chosen to pursue acting as a career, but have since become fully supportive.[3]

Career

In 2015, Bang won a best actress (Summer Award) at the Asians on Film Festival for her debut movie performance as Francesca in the short film Playdate.[6] In 2016, she landed the main role of Janet Kim in the CBC comedy Kim's Convenience alongside Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Jean Yoon, Simu Liu and Andrew Phung.[6][3]

In 2020, Bang received a nomination at the Canadian Screen Awards for Best Supporting Performance in a Web Program or Series for her role as Samantha in Running with Violet.[8]
