Ellen Wong, a talented actress hailing from Ontario, Canada, had her cinematic debut in a movie theatre watching the iconic film "Titanic". Her admiration for Kate Winslet, a renowned actress, further fueled her passion for the craft.
Ellen's early career took off with a role on the acclaimed television series "This is Wonderland", a platform that showcased her versatility as an actress. Her breakthrough role, however, came when she landed the part of Knives Chau in the highly acclaimed film "Scott Pilgrim VS The World", alongside an impressive ensemble cast including Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Jason Schwartzman.
The role of Knives Chau was not easily secured, as Ellen underwent an extensive international talent search, competing against numerous hopefuls. Director Edgar Wright was particularly drawn to Ellen's unique acting style, which allowed her to excel in both dramatic and action-packed scenes. During the filming of "Scott Pilgrim VS The World", the on-set trainer affectionately dubbed Ellen "The Ellen-nator", a testament to her dedication and impressive martial arts skills.
Ellen's proficiency in WTF Taekwondo is evident in her intense fight choreography scenes, and she has cited Michelle Yeoh, Tony Jaa, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Yanin Vismitananda, and Jet Li as her action heroes.
