Vivi Thai
Biography
Vivi Thai plays the ukulele, sword-fights, and flies (as an acroyogi). She has been acting since she was 12 when she debuted as Ebenezer Scrooge in a musical version of "A Christmas Carol" (yes, she's THAT good at playing against "type"). Even when traveling across the world, her heart always led her to acting. After earning degrees in Film Production and Business at the University of Texas at Austin, she performed in Hong Kong and Atlanta before journeying to Los Angeles. In her work, she strives to get people say, "Wow, I never thought about it like that." On Amazon Prime, you can see her play a botanist in "Personal Space," a web series about astronauts who don't know they are on a reality TV show, or Seed&Spark's season 2 of "F*ck Yes," a series that illustrates how #consentissexy. She's also on stage a lot. When not acting or writing, she will probably try to feed you or point out an edible plant growing on your sidewalk. And then try to feed you.
