Broadway actress Angela Lin was born and raised in Singapore before immigrating to San Jose, California one month before the 6.9 Loma Prieta Earthquake.
Not long after coming to America, Angela discovered her passion for theater and telling stories. She attended Abraham Lincoln High, a performance magnet high school, and continued to major in Drama: Music Theater at the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University, where her classmates included Josh Gad, Leslie Odom Jr, Josh Groban, Katy Mixon, and Rory O'Malley.
Angela earned Carnegie Mellon Drama's Adelyne Roth Levine Memorial Award for Acting upon graduation, and soon found herself on Broadway in the Royal National Theater's Broadway transfer of "Coram Boy". A year later she would understudy and go on to perform in Manhattan Theater Club's Broadway production of "Top Girls" starring Marissa Tomei and Martha Plimpton, then co-star in Broadway's "Chinglish" by David Henry Hwang, where she was named one of Backstage's Most Memorable NY Stage Performances.
While in New York, along with her theatrical and commercial work, Angela also became an award-winning audiobook narrator, with over 50+ audiobooks under her belt.
Now based in Los Angeles, California, Angela stars in the BAFTA-nominated series "Little America" for Apple TV+, receiving critical acclaim for her performance from numerous publications, including Variety, which named Angela's performance one of their "Top 30 Most Memorable TV Moments of the 2020 Emmy Eligibility Season" saying: "Angela Lin's turn as Ai, a single Chinese mother struggling to identify with her increasingly American children, is astonishing. At the peak of the episode, Ai performs a desperate karaoke version of Dusty Springfield's "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" as she remembers the hard road it took her to get there. It's gorgeous and heart-wrenching all at once."
