Playing a massage parlor employee in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2014 comedy, Chau showed up to set ready for her big on-camera moment only to find her shoot pushed back day after day as the production juggled the schedules of a cast that included everyone from Joaquin Phoenix to Reese Witherspoon and Josh Brolin.
In 2022, Chau kicked things off playing a self-absorbed artist in Kelly Reichardt’s “Showing Up,” which premiered at Cannes. She then followed that up with an anguished turn as a nurse desperately trying to save, or at least stabilize, her morbidly obese friend in Darren Aronofsky’s “.” And Chau capped that off with a flashy supporting role as Elsa, a sinister Maître d’ with one of the greatest coiffures in movie history in Mark Mylod’s “The Menu.
“I planned it all impeccably,” Chau jokes. The succession of showy turns came at a point where Chau said she had embraced a more laid-back approach to career planning. “I don’t feel like I’m really pushing for anything,” she says. “I’m not on the phone hounding my agent.” In fact, when her agent first approached her about “The Whale,” Chau said she wasn’t interested. She’d just had her first child and wasn’t sure she was up for such a dark story. But good sense prevailed, and she found herself in upstate New York, going toe-to-toe with Fraser.
