Ming-Na

is an American Actress born in Coloane Island, Macau to Chinese parents on November 20, 1963.  She next stars as Camille Wray in Syfy Channel’s upcoming Stargate Universe.

Ming-Na has had numerous roles, but is best known as Dr. Jing Mei Chen (2004) on NBC’s ER, as the main character voice of Mulan in all movies and videos made,  and as June Woo in The Joy Luck Club (1993). 

Ming-Na, whose credits have been without the surname “Wen” since the late 1990’s, moved to the U.S. as a child.  She grew up in Pittsburgh and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama from Carnegie Mellon University, the same university that ER producer John Wells attended.
