Miya Kodama

Miya Kodama’s got that whole “triple threat” energy—Japanese-Korean-American, born and raised under those blinding Central Valley suns in Fresno, California. You might’ve spotted her on CBS’s The Neighborhood, or maybe you caught her in The Brothers Sun on Netflix, or even while doom-scrolling HBO’s Insecure. Yeah, she’s that versatile. Oh, and if you’re one of those Grey’s Anatomy superfans, you know she popped up there too. She’s kind of everywhere if you’re paying attention. Right after snagging her degree from USC (because, of course, she’s a Trojan), Miya dove headfirst into the wild world of comedy writing, getting picked for the 2018 CBS Showcase. Her sketch, “Do You Like To Travel?” actually made it all the way to the final show—talk about a flex. Stand-up? She’s hit legendary L.A. spots like the Hollywood Improv and The Comedy Store, so she’s not just funny on paper. She’s got chops from The Groundlings, too. Advanced level, not just someone who took a class once and put it on a resume. But wait, there’s more—she’s not just a face you see on screen. Miya’s also behind the mic, lending her voice to dubbing projects and commercials. She’s got that rare mix of comedic timing, acting range, and hustle that actually makes you want to root for her. If you’re keeping tabs on up-and-coming talent, she’s the name that’ll keep popping up, trust.
