Lucy Liu, who returns as Alex Munday, is a native New Yorker. She attended NYU and later received a Bachelor of Science degree in Asian Languages and Cultures from the University of Michigan.
During her senior year at Michigan, she auditioned for a student theater production of Andre Gregory's adaptation of 'Alice in Wonderland.' Hoping to land a supporting role, Liu was instead cast as the lead. And her acting career was born.
Liu's blossoming film career was thrust into overdrive when she starred in Charlie's Angels. In 2000, she also starred opposite action legend Jackie Chan in the hit comedy Shanghai Noon. Other film credits include her memorable role as a dominatrix opposite Mel Gibson in Payback and her sassy starring role with Antonio Banderas and Woody Harrelson in Play It to the Bone.
She was most recently seen in Chicago and Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever. Her credits also include Mike Figgis' Hotel and Cypher opposite Jeremy Northam.
She will next be seen in Kill Bill for Quentin Tarantino. In addition, she recently signed a deal to executive produce and star in a contemporary big-screen version of Charlie Chan.
On television, Liu appeared as the unforgettable Ling Woo in the hit series, 'Ally McBeal.' That immensely popular role brought her a great deal of industry recognition and fan support. In 1999, she was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series and, the following year, she was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. She guest-starred on HBO's 'Sex and the City' and has lent her voice to such animated series as 'The Simpsons,' 'Futurama,' 'King of the Hill' and the upcoming 'Mulan 2.'
