A vibrant and acclaimed actor, Constance Wu is steadily building her body of work of dynamic roles alongside some of the industry’s most respected creators.
Most notably, Constance starred in Warner Brother's romantic comedy hit, “Crazy Rich Asians,” directed by Jon M. Chu. For this role, Constance received a Golden Globe® nomination in the category of Best Actress in a Motion Picture in a Musical or Comedy and a Critics Choice® nomination in the category of Best Actress in a Comedy. The film itself received many accolades including a Golden Globe® nomination in the category of Best Motion Picture in a Musical or Comedy, SAG Award nomination in the category of Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, and Critics’ Choice Award nomination in the categories of Best Acting Ensemble and Best Comedy, coupled with box office success which made it the most successful studio romantic comedy in nearly a decade. “Crazy Rich Asians” also made Hollywood history as the first studio movie in over 25 years to star an Asian American woman.
Constance broke out on screen in her starring role as ‘Jessica Huang’ in ABC’s comedy series “Fresh off the Boat.” For this role, Constance was nominated for a Critics’ Choice Television Award in the category of Best Actress in a Comedy Series and was honored as part of the TIME 100 Most Influential People. “Fresh off the Boat” also made Hollywood history as the first American network TV show to center on an Asian American family in over 20 years. It also marked another milestone as the first Asian-American-led TV show ever to reach syndication.
Constance penned a memoir titled Making a Scene, which is an essay collection that recounts her experiences growing up in suburban Virginia, scraping by as a struggling actor, falling in love, again and again, confronting her identity and influence, and navigating the pressures and pleasures of existing in today's world.
Constance also launched Tempo Wubato Pictures, a production venture alongside Justine Jones, who was tapped as the vice president of development. Under this banner, Constance struck a first-look deal with eOne, where she and Justine are actively developing and producing scripted series for the studio.
