A performer across worlds
From Wu Assassins to Babylon and Sinners.
Born in Shanghai, Li Jun Li spent part of her childhood in Colombia before moving to New York. Her path to acting grew out of a background in dance, an experience that brings another dimension to the physical presence of her screen roles.
On television she played Jenny Wah in Wu Assassins, a series that blends martial arts, family tensions and supernatural conflict. Her work has also included roles in Quantico and The Exorcist.
In Damien Chazelle’s Babylon, Li plays Lady Fay Zhu, a performer moving through the changing landscape of Hollywood. The character draws inspiration from Anna May Wong; Li has spoken about the responsibility of giving that history an emotional presence.
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners places her in a different community and genre. As Grace Chow, she and Bo run a store in the Mississippi Delta, where their lives intersect with the people gathering for a night of music.
