Nikki SooHoo (Chinese: 司徒少英; born August 20, 1988) is a Chinese American actress.[2] She is best known for her roles as Holly in The Lovely Bones and as Wei Wei in Stick It.

Early life

[edit]

SooHoo attended Orange County High School of the Arts and completed a degree in World Arts and Cultures at University of California, Los Angeles.[3]

Career

[edit]

SooHoo portrayed gymnast Wei Wei in the 2006 teen comedy Stick It. SooHoo had previously done limited gymnastics while studying dance in arts school. She starred alongside Jeff Bridges, Missy Peregrym, and Vanessa Lengies.[4][5]

SooHoo played Fiona Lanky in an episode of the Disney Channel show Phil of the Future and went on to play Sue Ling in the TV series The War at Home.

She played a supporting role in Peter Jackson's 2009 film The Lovely Bones as Susie's spirit guide in Heaven, Holly. The film was based on the novel of the same name and starred Saoirse Ronan, Stanley Tucci, Mark Walhberg, and Rachel Weisz.[2][6] Later that year, SooHoo appeared in the direct-to-video film Bring It On: Fight to the Finish as cheerleader Christina.[7]

In 2018, Soohoo played Betty Finn in the television adaptation of Heathers based on the film of the same name.[8]

In 2020, she played Princess Azula in the fan created film Avatar: The Last Airbender: Agni Kai. The short is a live action reimaging of the final confrontation between Azula, Prince Zuko, and Katara in Nickelodeon's animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender.[9][10]

SooHoo portrayed Rocky in the 2021 film Final Frequency, a thriller about a lost notebook of scientist Nikola Tesla with research that could lead to weapons of mass destruction. The movie was met with poor reviews.[11]

SooHoo, also, now works as a life coach.[12]
