by asiantalentspotlight | created - 03 Feb 2015 | updated - 10 Sep 2021 | Public

There are plenty of beautiful Asian actresses - whether from China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Hong Kong....But these girls made it to the list not only based on looks but also accomplishments, potential and screen (and social media!) presence. Some have yet to score big roles in the Hollywood scene but there's something about them that caught our eyes when we watched them either on the big screen or silver screen. In the list we have some from the breakout Hollywood hit Crazy Rich Asians, addictive new Netflix series' (To All The Boys I've Loved Before, Iron Fist, Marco Polo), even the odd indie flick (Guns Akimbo), as well as some deserving gamer girls that we'll love to see in bigger parts. We just want to see more of them and the others girls in the list in future projects and also in everything.
