Peggy Lu is a multifaceted and talented individual, boasting a remarkable career as a professional actor, linguistically gifted in Mandarin Chinese. Her most notable role to date is undoubtedly the iconic 'Mrs. Chen,' the proprietor of a convenience store, in the esteemed Venom Trilogy from Sony Pictures. In addition to her work in the entertainment industry, Peggy has also made appearances in several award-winning productions, including CBS' "NCIS: Los Angeles," NBC's "Superstore," and HBO's "The Sex Lives of College Girls," to name just a few.
Interestingly, Peggy's journey in the world of acting began during her sophomore year in college, where she first discovered her passion for the craft. However, her parents, who were immigrants, urged her to pursue a more stable career, thus leading her to attend pharmacy school. After receiving her Ph.D., Peggy moved to New York to pursue her dreams and eventually worked as a hospice pharmacist. Despite her professional success, Peggy will always cherish the profound impact of her extraordinary parents, who made immense sacrifices to pave the path for her to achieve the American Dream.
When not immersed in her acting career, Peggy is a self-taught DIY enthusiast and amateur carpenter, a hobby that originated 15 years ago after rescuing two dogs from a shelter. Initially, she needed to build dog gates and other pet-related items, which led her to acquire power tools and begin building. Over time, her passion for DIY projects evolved, and she now focuses primarily on creating and upcycling furniture.
