Ansa Woo is an American model and actress of Chinese, Thai, and Korean descent. She was born in Arlington Virginia (a suburb of Washington, D.C.), graduated from Indiana University and resides in Los Angeles, California. Her mother, a first generation immigrant from Thailand, is the C.E.O. of a small software development company and her father is an accomplished coder/ Vice President to the same software company. Ansa grew up in a competitive school district and filled her budgeted free time with anything music related. She was scouted to model several times in her mid- late teens but did not pursue much within the industry until she was an undergraduate Hoosier studying to become a Journalist. A fight director for her university gently but persistently encouraged her to attend his movement class and try acting. Though she was mostly interested in fight choreography/ stunt work at the time, she has since broadened her arts. Show less «
