An Phan

Born & raised in a very small town of Arkansas, An's parents were immigrants and raised her to live a humble, conservative, and religious lifestyle. At a very young age, An started to get noticed by her school after receiving art awards every year and being issued on the front newspapers. She was offered to travel overseas for her talents, but her parents asked her to decline due to financial hardships. Putting her education first, An graduated with Honors in her BA in the Arts from Oklahoma, then immediately moved to Los Angeles where she obtained her Honors Degree in Masters in Acting for Film. She is best known for her Co-Star role in HBO's hit series Euphoria (2020), KIDDING on Showtimes (2021), and The Dust Child (2018).

She won over 7 IMDB awards such as Top Shorts: Best Original Story, Festigious Awards: Best Inspirational Film, and Los Angeles Film Awards 2018: Best Actress (Indie Film). An later went on to appear in several shorts and was a speaker on TEDx TALKS, where she spoke on the subject of Asian actors having to deal with Hollywood Obstacles & Barriers. Embracing one's ethnicity/culture is very crucial to An's upbringing & beliefs. Her parents made sure she could speak fluently, read, write, and sing in Vietnamese. An makes sure she represents the beauty of Vietnamese culture wherever she goes. Dating back to 2014, An was crowned as Miss Arkansas State Queen.

An is currently pursuing her Ph.D. and her Harvard extended study to further her career in Acting and Producing, focusing on films that better represent the Pan-Asian American community in all genres that she loves - drama, war-drama, romance, and comedy & making a name for herself in a very difficult industry. She hopes to get the same equal opportunity as the starlets she watched growing up.
