Andrea Bang (born May 2[1]) is a Canadian actress from Burnaby, British Columbia.[2] She is best known for playing Janet Kim in the CBC comedy Kim's Convenience,[3] for which she was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award, Best Actress in a Comedy Series, at the 5th Canadian Screen Awards.[4]
Background
Bang was born in Burnaby, British Columbia to Korean immigrant parents.[3] Her sister, Diana Bang, is also an actress and writer.[3] In high school, she acted in a production of Bye Bye Birdie.[5][6]
She received a degree in Psychology from University of British Columbia in 2012 while also taking acting lessons.[3][7] In 2017, she told the Vancouver Sun, "For the longest time, I kept my interest in acting a secret. Minus a select few, no one really knew. I played around with so many different non-acting career paths. Finally, one day I said ‘screw it.’ I got an agent and a job that allowed me to audition — and the rest is history."[5]
