Christine Ko

With her sardonic energy and knack for comic timing, Christine Ko first caught the attention of audiences with her role on the comedy series "The Great Indoors" (CBS, 2016-). Born in Chicago to Taiwanese parents, Ko was adopted by her aunt and uncle-whom to her, became mom and dad. Ko's biological parents returned to Taiwan, where her biological father, the singer Frankie Gao, continued his career as a popular performer in China. Ko took an interest in acting and dance as a youngster, and began considering a career as an actor while attending Georgia State University. When she graduated in 2010, Ko opted to spend over a year in Taiwan, utilizing her knowledge of Mandarin to gain experience in the industry on shows like "Youth Full Connection" (CHANNEL V 王子文). Upon returning to the States in 2011, Ko slowly but surely began racking up an impressive resume, appearing on shows like "Hollywood Heights" (Nick @ Nite, 2012), and in the TV movie "The Half of It" (CBS, 2015). After making a memorable guest appearance on an episode of the HBO sports comedy series "Ballers" (HBO, 2015-) in 2016, Ko finally booked her first co-starring role on the sitcom "The Great Indoors," which would find her starring alongside Joel McHale and the legendary Stephen Fry as Emma, a young social media specialist working for an online travel magazine.
