Biography

Ngô Thanh Vân (born 26 February 1979) is a Vietnamese actress, singer and model. She is also known as Veronica Ngô or her initials NTV. In 2004, Vân made her first international appearance in Rouge, a 13-part late night television series that aired on AZN Television. Rouge was produced by MTV Asia & MediaCorp Singapore and was broadcast widely in Asia and Australia. For the remainder of the year, Ngo was busy with the promotional campaign for Rouge throughout Asia and the recording of her third album. She was chosen as the favorite actress in Rouge on the MTV Asia website. After the release of her album My Way, Vân continued acting, with many starring roles in films such as Saigon Love Story directed by Ringo Le, 2 in 1 directed by Dao Duy Phuc, and The Rebel directed by Charlie Nguyễn with Johnny Trí Nguyễn, the latter becoming (at that point) Vietnam's highest-grossing film of all time. Vân's performance was highly praised by both critics and the public, and earned her the Best Actress Award at the 15th Vietnam Film Festival. She was also nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Kite Awards for the second time. In the spring of 2007, Vân also starred in a new thriller called Ngôi nhà bí ẩn, which premiered in Vietnamese cinemas in November 2007. 2009 saw Vân once again starring beside Johnny Trí Nguyễn in a Chanh Phuong action movie Clash. She also opened her own talent agency called VAA. In 2010, Vân competed as a contestant in the Vietnamese version of Dancing With The Stars. She finished as the winner of season one. After winning, Vân revealed that she would return to music in 2011. That autumn, she embarked on a national promotional tour. In 2016, she appeared in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny and starred in Tấm Cám: The Untold Story. In 2017, she played Paige Tico, the older sister to Rose Tico, in The Last Jedi. Although her screen time was brief, her character's death was an important act of self-sacrifice that affected the major characters in the film, especially Rose. Later in 2017, she played Tien, an Inferni elf enforcer working for Leilah, the main antagonist in the Netflix film Bright. In 2019, she starred in Vietnamese action film Furie (Hai Phượng), which later became the highest grossing domestic film of all time in Vietnam. In 2020, she appeared in The Old Guard beside Charlize Theron and in Spike Lee's film Da 5 Bloods with Chadwick Boseman. The same year, Vân was selected to jury the New York Asian Film Festival.
