From Minnesota (by way of China), the 32-year-old comedy darling is suddenly everywhere, from Max’s 'Hacks' to Netflix’s upcoming 'No Good Deed.'
Poppy Liu next stars opposite Abbi Jacobson in Liz Feldman’s new Netflix drama. Says the actress, “I live in L.A. now, I have a child, I’m raising chickens. I’m here!”‘s career has been spent dedicated to experimental warehouse theater and grassroots indie films. The actress, who grew up in Minnesota and China, spent her 20s putting on productions about such topics as her own abortion story and a friend’s experience as a professional dominatrix sex worker. And then there was the naked play.
The role offers a huge amount of exposure for the still-burgeoning actress, but she says she also savored the opportunity to work with another comedy icon in Lisa Kudrow, who, alongside Ray Romano, plays the owner of the house in question. “I had one scene alone with Lisa, and I rarely get starstuck, but when I first met her, I was just, like, heart eyes. I think all I could say was, ‘Thank you,’ and she just said, ‘You’re welcome,’ ” she recalls with a laugh.
