Charlet Takahashi Chung (born February 16, 1983) is an American actress and voice actress of Japanese and Korean descent, renowned for her versatile performances in animation, video games, and live-action television.[1][2] Best known for voicing the energetic gamer D.Va in the popular multiplayer video game Overwatch (2016) and its expansions, as well as the intelligent ally Julia Argent in the Netflix animated series Carmen Sandiego (2019–2021), Chung has built a career spanning over two decades with recurring roles in major animated shows and guest appearances in primetime dramas.[1][3][2]
Born Chihye Takahashi Chung in Long Beach, California, to a Japanese mother and Korean father who immigrated to the United States and earned advanced degrees in applied linguistics and economics from UCLA and Claremont Graduate School, she experienced a nomadic childhood with ten family relocations before age ten, ultimately settling in Diamond Bar, which she considers her hometown.[4][2] Fluent and literate in both Japanese and Korean due to her heritage and more than 25 visits to Japan and South Korea, Chung earned a Bachelor of Arts in communications with a minor in East Asian studies from the University of California, San Diego, initially aspiring to a career as a broadcast news anchor.[4][2] Spotted by an agent at age five during an airplane flight, she transitioned into acting shortly after college, landing her first role as a runaway teen on CBS's Cold Case in 2006.[2][1]
Chung's voice acting portfolio includes prominent characters such as Margaret "Echo" Pearl in Netflix's Fast & Furious Spy Racers (2019–2021), where she serves as a series regular, Kimi Watanabe-Finster in the rebooted Rugrats (2021–present), and Seraph in the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops III (2015).[3][2] In live-action, she has portrayed guest roles like the cunning teen antagonist Candy on Disney Channel's Shake It Up (2011), Mandy Hsu on Fox's Touch (2012), and Susie Chin on NBC's Chuck (2011), alongside guest spots on shows including Grace and Frankie, 9-1-1, and Shameless.[4][1] She recurs in animated series such as Family Guy, American Dad!, and Cartoon Network's Craig of the Creek, and has contributed additional crew work to Pixar's Onward (2020).[2][1] Married to actor Tom Yoo since 2010, with whom she has two children, Chung is also active in her local church community and advocates for equality for women and people of color through charitable efforts.[1][2][5]
Early life and education
Family background and upbringing
Charlet Chung was born on February 16, 1983, in Long Beach, California, as Chihye Takahashi Chung.[1] Her parents were immigrants from Japan and Korea, respectively, both of whom earned advanced degrees in applied linguistics from UCLA and economics from Claremont Graduate School.[4] Chung's family relocated frequently during her early years, moving ten times before she turned ten due to her parents' professional pursuits.[4] This nomadic childhood eventually led to a settlement in Diamond Bar, California, which she considers her hometown.[4] As an only child for the first eleven years of her life, Chung experienced a close-knit family dynamic until her younger sister was born.[6] Growing up in a bilingual household, Chung received early exposure to Japanese and Korean cultures through her parents' traditions, language use at home, and family visits to both countries—totaling over 25 trips combined—which fostered her fluency in these languages alongside English.[4]Academic background
Chung graduated from Diamond Bar High School in Diamond Bar, California, in 2001.[1] She subsequently attended the University of California, San Diego, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications along with a minor in East Asian studies in 2005.[4][7] Her academic focus on communications was driven by an interest in media and storytelling.[4] Initially, Chung aspired to a career as a news journalist or broadcast anchor, viewing her degree as a pathway into television journalism.[4] This goal aligned with her formal training in communications, which emphasized effective public speaking and narrative construction.[4] However, upon completing her studies, she shifted toward acting, drawing on an early interest in performance that had been sparked in childhood; she signed with a manager immediately after graduation and began pursuing on-screen opportunities.[4]Career
Live-action roles
Charlet Chung's live-action career began with her debut role as a runaway teen on CBS's Cold Case in 2006, followed by additional guest appearances on television. Her significant early role came in 2012 as Mandy Hsu in the episode "Entanglement" of the Fox series Touch, where she portrayed a young woman entangled in a complex family dynamic. Prior to this, she had smaller parts, including Susie Chin in the 2011 episode "Chuck Versus the Bearded Bandit" of NBC's Chuck. These early roles established her in supporting capacities on network television, often highlighting her ability to bring nuance to brief but impactful characters.[4] Throughout the mid-2010s, Chung continued to secure guest spots on prominent series, showcasing her versatility in comedic and dramatic contexts. In 2014, she appeared as Tika in an episode of ABC Family's Mystery Girls, a lighthearted mystery comedy. She followed this with the role of Charlotte in the 2016 episode "The Chicken" of Netflix's Grace and Frankie, playing a mentee navigating career changes under Jane Fonda's character.[8] Additional television credits include Candy Cho, a cheerleader antagonist in Disney Channel's Shake It Up. These appearances on both broadcast and streaming platforms demonstrated her growing presence in ensemble casts.[2] Chung's live-action work extended to a guest role in Fox's procedural drama 9-1-1, contributing to the high-stakes emergency responder narratives typical of the series.[2] By 2021, she took on the part of Jill in the episode "The Fickle Lady Is Calling It Quits" of Showtime's Shameless final season, portraying a character amid the Gallagher family's chaotic dynamics.[9] In film, her roles have been minor but varied, such as the Korean Soap Actress in the 2015 TV movie Ana Maria in Novela Land. She also appeared as a bridesmaid in the 2020 Disney+ family comedy Magic Camp. Over the years up to 2025, Chung's live-action portfolio has consisted primarily of guest spots in acclaimed series, reflecting steady visibility while she balances her established voice acting profile.[2] Her on-camera work emphasizes diverse ethnic representations in supporting roles, contributing to ensemble-driven storytelling across genres.[4]Voice acting roles
Charlet Chung's voice acting career gained significant momentum with her portrayal of Hana Song, known as D.Va, in the 2016 video game Overwatch developed by Blizzard Entertainment. This role marked her breakthrough in the industry, embodying the character's energetic, trash-talking pro-gamer persona, which resonated widely with players and contributed to D.Va's status as one of the game's most iconic and popular heroes.[10] The character's appeal led to Chung making frequent appearances at conventions, such as Florida Supercon in 2017 and Anime Expo, where she engaged fans through panels and Q&A sessions discussing the role's development and cultural nuances.[11] In animated series, Chung has voiced key characters that highlight her versatility in ensemble casts. She provided the voice for Julia Argent, the intelligent academy student and ally to the titular thief, in the Netflix reboot of Carmen Sandiego from 2019. Additionally, she lent her voice to Margaret "Echo" Pearl, a skilled hacker and racer, in the Netflix series Fast & Furious Spy Racers spanning 2019 to 2021, and continues as Kimi Watanabe-Finster in the rebooted Rugrats (2021–present). Her work extends to anime dubs, showcasing her ability to capture subtle emotional dynamics in Japanese-origin stories.[12] Chung has also contributed to other notable video game projects, including the role of A.I.S.H.A., a multifaceted artificial intelligence antagonist portrayed as a K-pop group, in Agents of Mayhem (2017). Earlier, she provided additional voices, such as Korean civilians and spokesmodels, in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (2014), and later took on the character of He "Seraph" Zhen, a tactical specialist, in Call of Duty: Black Ops III (2015).[4] More recently, Chung appeared as additional voices in Assassin's Creed Shadows, released in 2025 by Ubisoft, continuing her involvement in major action-adventure titles.[13] Chung's fluency in English, Japanese, and Korean has enabled her to excel in multilingual voice projects, particularly those requiring authentic Asian-language inflections, such as D.Va's Korean heritage, enhancing her impact across diverse gaming and animation landscapes.[14]Filmography
