ALLY MAKI

Originally from Kirkland, Washington, Japanese-American actress Ally Maki moved to Los Angeles when she was 14 after being scouted by a talent agent. Ally is now showcasing her comedic acting chops in the TBS comedy series “Wrecked,” as “Jess,” the fun, feisty, and hopeless romantic of the ensemble cast. The show centers around a group of plane crash survivors adapting to life on a re-

mote island, and adjusting to a new world. “Wrecked,” premiered as the #1 Cable Comedy of 2016 with its third season set to premiere June 2018. Ally was recently

a celebrity guest on Conan, discussing all things Wrecked and celebrity crushes on a national talk show outside of her role on the series.

In addition to “Wrecked,” Ally can also be seen in Freeform’s Marvel series “Cloak & Dagger” premiering on June 7th. Her previous television credits include Ikumi in “Dear White People” and recurring roles on popular series such as “New Girl,” “2 Broke Girls,” “NCIS,” “The Big Bang Theory,” and “10 Things I Hate About You,” as well as the role of ‘Min’ in the 2013 film, “Geography Club.” Multi-talented, Ally was approached by Columbia Records upon arriving in Los Angeles to ultimately join the all-girl band “The Valli Girls.”

Beyond acting, Ally has been working hard to ensure diversity is being recognized in Hollywood. She recently participated in the Diversity Speaks panel during LA

Film Festival along with other well-known Asian American actors in the industry. She also has partnered to support GIRLS INC. and wants to help empower young women.
