Lauren Mary Kim

With her brown hair and petite 5'4" frame, Lauren Mary Kim cuts a striking figure on screen, but her slim build belies the intensity of her action work. An American actress and stuntwoman of mixed-race (primarily Asian) heritage, she was born in Stockton, California, on February 1, 1981. Her journey began with childhood training in acrobatics and dance, which led her to Los Angeles, where she landed her first job as a Laker girl.

Lauren then branched out into acting, martial arts, and stunt work. She is best known for her performances in The Mandalorian, Clone Wars Season 7, Furious 7, The Last of Us 2, and Mortal Kombat 11, and for doubling as Elektra in Netflix's Daredevil and Defenders. Her martial arts repertoire is extensive, including Taekwondo, Wushu, Silat, Filipino Martial Arts, Jeet Kune Do, and Capoeira. At 45, she remains a sought-after force in action entertainment.
