About Kimiko Glenn
Kimiko Glenn is an American actress with a career spanning film, television, Broadway, and voice work, and her extensive résumé is matched by a warm, professional stage presence. Born in Phoenix, Arizona, she grew up in the Southwest before heading east to train at Boston Conservatory. That training paid off quickly: halfway through her freshman year, she was cast in the first national tour of Spring Awakening, the rock musical by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater. Glenn soon moved to New York City, where she originated the role of Emily in the Off-Broadway production of Freckleface Strawberry.
Her breakthrough came in 2013, when she was cast as Brook Soso in the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. The role brought her critical attention and three consecutive Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series (2014–2016). Glenn has shown range across mediums. She appeared in the Lena Dunham-directed music video for Bleachers' "I Wanna Get Better" in 2014, played Liv Kurosawa in the 2016 thriller Nerve, and made her Broadway debut as Dawn in Waitress. She has also built an impressive voice-acting career, providing voices for Voltron: Legendary Defender, DuckTales, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. More recent credits include the comedy web series Liza on Demand and the independent romantic comedy Can You Keep A Secret? alongside Alexandra Daddario and Laverne Cox. She has been dating Sean Grandillo since February 2015 and currently lives in New York City.
Kimiko is of mixed-race heritage, primarily Asian, and stands at a petite 5'2" with a slim build. She has brown hair and brown eyes and is a natural performer. Her measurements are 33–23–33, with a C cup. She has no tattoos or piercings. As of April 2026, she has 863k followers on Instagram.
