Amy Tsang (曾愛媚) is a trilingual Chinese American actress.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Amy spent her early childhood in Waterford, Connecticut. At fourteen, she relocated to Hong Kong with her family and later attended Tsinghua University in Beijing, where she studied Fine Art. During this time, she was exposed to international cinema and discovered screen media as a powerful artistic medium, ultimately leaving university to pursue acting.
Amy recurs as Ensign Rane, an “Acolyte” witch, in Disney+’s Star Wars: The Acolyte, and appeared in the Season 2 finale of The CW’s Kung Fu.
She began her film and television career in Hong Kong after placing in the Top 5 of the 2006 Miss Hong Kong Pageant, which led to a contract with Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB). Over the next five years, she amassed more than eighty film and television credits, spanning both dramatic and comedic roles across hit TVB and HKTV series.
In 2013, Amy relocated to Los Angeles, where she is currently based. Her U.S. work includes starring roles in the award-winning feature films Silent River—for which she received a Best Actress nomination at the Next Generation Indie Film Awards—and Love Shot, both distributed by Gravitas Ventures. On television, she has appeared in S.W.A.T., Magnum P.I., Grey’s Anatomy, Lucifer, and Shameless.

“Led by command performances from West Liang and Amy Tsang, SILENT RIVER is a visually stunning and layered film that boldly challenges the idea of what is real and what is not.”
“Tsang is asked to do a lot and delivers a convincingly ethereal presence.”
“Yet it was the mercurial way Tsang conducted herself that was particularly riveting. Tsang embodied Greta and Julie so perfectly that it was easy to tell when she was playing without help from the script. For example, one scene in which she shares a bath with her husband is equally electrifying and heartbreaking. Tsang is, in many ways, the centerpiece of ‘Silent River’, as enigmatic with moments of breathtaking emotional clarity as the film itself. Conflicted yet decisive, Tsang’s Greta is a fascinating creation.”
