Personal Quote:

[on the differences between acting in Canada and in Hollywood]: Huge, huge difference, both good and bad. First of all in Canada, someone like me can be a star, a leading lady. In the U.S., much more difficult. They always want to keep you in the supporting roles. It is also debatable if there is even a star system in Canada... See more »

Trivia:

She has the distinction of playing two characters that co-exist in Armistead Maupin's fictional universe. In Further Tales of the City, she portrayed a bitchy newswoman who complicated "DeDe Day"'s mission to protect her twins, Anna and Edgar. In The Night Listener, Oh portrays an adult "Anna Day".
