An Nguyen's journey to becoming a renowned actress began with her childhood in Saigon, Vietnam, where she was born to a mother who hoped for a better life for her only child. At the tender age of three, An's mother asked her uncle and aunt to take her to America, promising to join her daughter as soon as her husband and An's father were ready. Little did she know that this separation would last for over a decade.
An grew up in St. Louis, sharing her remarkable story of immigration with her uncle and aunt. As she blossomed into a charismatic storyteller, acting became a natural progression. She began starring in school plays and eventually earned a degree in Acting from New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts. An further honed her craft at the renowned Caymichael Patten Studio, where talents such as Maria Bello, Edie Falco, and Bridget Moynahan previously studied.
An's talent and dedication quickly paid off, as she landed the role of Jennifer Marcus in "The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow," earning rave reviews. She then starred as the lead in David Kaplan's "Year of the Fish," which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. An's impressive filmography also includes performances alongside Terrence Howard and Jodie Foster in "The Brave One" and opposite Ryan Reynolds in "Definitely, Maybe." Her next film is the French romantic comedy "A New York Thing" alongside Stephanie Sjostak and Greta Gerwig.
Throughout her career, An has consistently sought out quality roles and has become a committed performer with a powerful and uncompromising presence on both the screen and stage. Today, An resides in Los Angeles, where she continues to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.
