Did you know that a Korean gal is singing out loud on the new hit show of the season? Jenna Ushkowitz is an adopted Korean girl who was born in Seoul, South Korea and she’s making a big splash on Glee as Tina Cohen-Chang.
Tina is a member of Glee. She is awkward and needs to suppress her stutter before she can take center stage. Her interests include speed-metal, emo-core, cutting off her dolls’ hair, and hangin’ wi’ her speech therapist, Judy.
So who is Jenna? She was adopted and raised in the Vermont and New York area, where she graduated from a Catholic high school. She’s no stranger to acting with stints on TV and on Broadway.
A seasoned theater actor, Jenna Ushkowitz starred in “The King and I” and recently finished her run in the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of “Spring Awakening.”
Her television credits include “Sesame Street,” “Reading Rainbow” and “As the World Turns,” and her independent film credits include “Babyface” and “Educated.” Recently, Ushkowitz hosted “Yankees on Deck,” which is a behind-the-scenes sports show geared towards young audiences.
Ushkowitz, 22, graduated from Marymount Manhattan College and lives in New York City.
It looks like she’s just getting started with the surprise hit Glee. Best of luck to Jenna! You can catch Jenna on Wednesday nights on Fox at 9pm EST.
