Carolyn Kang

Carolyn Kang is a native New Yorker who caught the performing bug at age 4, when she begged her mom for piano and singing lessons (thanks mom!) She has a B.A. in Psychology from Columbia University, where she discovered Psychology's surprising connection with acting-they are both the study of human behavior, after all. She continues her acting studies at MN Acting Studio and Terry Knickerbocker Studio. Her recent work includes playing a teen bully on the latest season of "Awkwafina is Nora From Queens" on HBO Max and an enthusiastic employee opposite Annabella Sciorra in the Amazon Prime movie "Before I Go".Carolyn is also a writer, producer, and co-founder of Chatty Rats Productions. She is an advocate for mental health, gender equality, and racial justice. Recently, she made headlines after starting an initiative giving away safety alarms to AAPI New Yorkers amidst a national uptick in hate crimes against Asian-Americans. Her advocacy and filmmaking work are intersectional, with the ultimate goal of telling stories with rich, complex, AAPI characters. When she's not acting, she's listening to true crime podcasts and being a new dog mom to her toy poodle Pepper. Show less «
