Ahn grew up in Pasadena, California.[1] She is of Korean descent.[1] She was involved in dance and theater at college at Yale University, where she graduated in 2003.[1][2] She received her MFA in acting from the California Institute of the Arts in 2006.[3]

Career

In New York theater, Ahn made her Broadway debut in a short-lived revival of The Heidi Chronicles opposite Elisabeth Moss in February–May 2015.[1][4] She starred off-Broadway in Rajiv Joseph's Letters of Suresh at the Tony Kiser Theater in September–October 2021. A Times review said that her "messy charisma" elevated the play's letter-writing conceit.[5][6]

In television, Ahn played recurring characters in series such as Billions (2016–2018) and Orange Is the New Black (2018).[5] She played biotechnology company CEO Suzanne Wu on the Netflix superhero show Raising Dion (2019–2022), a role that was promoted to series regular in season two.[7] She played another Netflix main role, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) station chief Eidra Park, in the drama series The Diplomat (2023–present).[8] In 2024, Ahn starred as Alice Wu-Gulliver in the Disney+ Marvel show Agatha All Along.[9]

Personal life

Ahn is in a relationship with actor William Jackson Harper, who co-starred with her in an outdoor production of Romeo + Juliet in New York in 2012.[10][11]
