Career Highlights
When it comes to show-business JJ Fong can do it all, and do it well. An innovative and dynamic creative, the Chinese-Kiwi actress continues to land (and create) momentum-building roles for herself in a range of television and film productions, both locally and abroad. From core cast in Kiwi drama Go Girls, comedy series Step Dave, to guest spots on homegrown faves Shortland Street and The Brokenwood Mysteries to Netflix’s The New Legend of Monkey and Falling Inn Love. JJ Fong can play the part. And if she can’t? She’ll make it herself. Expanding roles for Asian women, JJ joined Ally Xue, Perlina Lau and Roseanne Liang, to co-create and lead in webseries Flat 3, Friday Night Bites and dystopian TV series Creamerie, which just wrapped a second season. Want more? JJ Fong will play a health-crazed-gal’s conflicted bestie in upcoming Aussie Netflix series Wellmania.
