Nhi Do is the definition of a versatile actress. In recent years, Nhi has kicked ass as a straight-talking, gun-toting spy in the award-winning web series NarcoLeap, sparked heartache and confusion for Mary Galloway’s Abe in APTN Lumi’s beloved IndigiQueer series Querencia, stirred hearts as a recently arrived refugee from Vietnam who bonds with an Indigenous family in Louisa Phung’s Hope and Grace, and sparkled as the lead in Upstairs Amy, a phenomenally funny web comedy from the team at Shaftesbury in which Nhi portrays an accountant turned vlogger obsessed with her mysterious neighbour. Nhi’s credits also include wildly different roles in Watchmen, Unspeakable, and Hospital Show, and on Netflix’s MAID. Besides her phenomenal acting work, Nhi is also a fierce advocate for diversity and representation. She cares about how BIPOC communities are portrayed on screen, and she’s cognizant of her own role in changing the game for marginalized actors. Nhi is currently an ambassador for the 2021 Vancouver Asian Film Festival’s VIBE-Asian campaign. In this thought-provoking episode, Nhi speaks about her arsenal of roles, where these roles end and Nhi begins, and what her VAFF Ambassadorship means to her.
