Artemis Women in Action Film Festival is proud to honor Levy Tran with the Artemis Action Next Wave Award. As an actress Ms. Tran has worked with Regina King, William H Macy, James Wan, Michelle Rodriquez, Vin Diesel, Jared Leto, and more. Since her debut on THE FAST AND FURIOUS, Ms. Tran has gone on to work on recurring roles in THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (Netflix), and SHAMELESS (Showtime). Born in San Jose, California, to Vietnamese parents, she says she’s proud she can represent the Vietnamese community in her current role as a former military operative on MACGYVER (CBS). Because of Tran’s martial arts training: eskrima, Muay Thai, boxing, and Jiu Jitsu. Ms. Tran’s journey into acting was unconventional. After working as a kindergarten teacher, she studied to become an embalmer. But her embalming supervisor saw something special in her and told her, “You work with death every day. Go live life, and if it doesn’t work out then come back, but for now . . . go live your life.” And she certainly has. |
