Christine Ko

Christine Ko is an American actress who moved into acting after first pursuing finance. Born in Chicago and raised in both Taiwan and Atlanta, she spent the early 2010s acting in Taiwan before building a career in the United States. She is known for playing Emma on the CBS sitcom The Great Indoors, Mandi on Upload and Emma on Dave, and she has talked about how few parts American television writes for Asian American performers. The part she took on The Great Indoors had been conceived for a blond woman, and her agent secured her an audition, after which the producers rethought the character's look. Her other credits include Hawaii Five-0, which she joined partway through its eighth season, a guest spot on Ballers, and the FXX series Dave with Dave Burd. She appeared in Justin Bieber's Hold On music video in 2021 and joined The Handmaid's Tale in 2022.
