Biography

A native of Hong Kong, Jennifer Lim now resides and works out of NYC. After graduating with a Bachelor's degree from Bristol University in the United Kingdom, she attended the Yale School of Drama where she graduated with her MFA in Acting in 2004. She is a "half & half" (half Chinese half Korean) who speaks Cantonese and Mandarin fluently... and, when the need arises, enough Korean to warm a plate of japchae.

To broaden her international exposure and qualify for a US Artist Green card, which she has now received, Jennifer has taken many opportunities to work abroad over the last few years.

In London, she played the lead role, to rave reviews, in Insook Chappell's Verity Bargate Award winning This Isn't Romance, directed by Soho Theatre's former Artistic Director Lisa Goldman. In Shanghai and at the Grotowski Theatre Festival in Wroclaw, she received high praise for her portrayal of Ophelia (performed in Mandarin) in Shakespeare's Hamlet, adapted and directed by the much-lauded Richard Schechner.

She also toured extensively in Europe with Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven as a member of the Young Jean Lee Theater Co., performing at numerous theatres and festivals, including the Vienna Fesitval, the Hannover Theaterformen Festival (Germany), Zurich Theaterspektakel Festival, the Hebbel Theater (Berlin), the Kaaitheater (Brussels), the International Arts Festival of Castilla y Leon (Salamanca, Spain), Theatre Garonne (Toulouse), and in Norway - the Teaterhuset Avant Garden (Trondheim), the Black Box Teater (Oslo) and the Teater Garasjen (Bergen).

Back in the United States, Jennifer has also worked in many professional and prominent downtown NYC and regional theaters. In addition, she has helped develop new works at the Lark Play Development Center, New Georges, Pan Asian Rep, East Coast Artists, Mabou Mines, Reverie Productions, New Dramatists, Ensemble Studio Theater, Cherry Lane Theater, Second Generation and Ma-Yi Theater Co.

Television and film credits include appearances on Blue Bloods (2010), New York - Police judiciaire (1990), New York - Unité spéciale (1999), Royal Pains (2009), Dirty Sexy Money (2007), Haine et passion (1952), As the World Turns (1956), La famille Savage (2007), 27 robes (2008) and various shorts.
