Ting Sue

Ting Sue isn’t your average actress—her story’s got some serious layers. Born way down in South Thailand, she’s got a bit of everything in her background: Taiwanese roots from her dad, Thai-Chinese from her mom. She bounced around growing up—Thailand, Malaysia, and then the States—so she picked up all these different cultural vibes along the way. Honestly, you can tell she’s a people-watcher at heart; she ended up snagging a degree in Cultural Anthropology and Acting over at the University of Washington in Seattle. Let’s just say, Seattle theater crowds got pretty familiar with her face. She’s not just about the stage, though. Before she was memorizing scripts, she was out there working with troubled teens back in Thailand, trying to help them out of rough patches. And when she landed in Seattle? She switched it up and worked at a geriatric clinic, making sure folks who didn’t have much cash still got decent treatment. That’s a pretty wild range, right? Ting’s trilingual—she can flip between three languages like it’s nothing—which really juices up her acting chops, especially since she’s been cast in stories from both sides of the world. She’s been in movies like Attrition (2018) and Cave Rescue (2019), and if you watch her, you’ll notice she’s got this physical energy, almost athletic, that sneaks into her roles. It’s like she pours everything she’s lived through into her performances, and it totally shows.
