Ali Wong had no intention of becoming an actress.
In an interview for Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series with Jason Segel, the “Beef” actress admitted she didn’t expect to end up in front of the cameras. Asked if she had any plans to move from stand-up comedy to film, the 41-year-old star replied: ‘Not really, I just wanted to tell jokes for a living and it was more like I started doing sitcoms because it was a great way for me to still justify doing shows [comiques] free in the evening.
She continued, “Because otherwise what I was doing before was acting, for a long time and I was like, ‘Well, acting seems a lot more in line with stand-up.” »
The ‘American Housewife’ actress added that although she didn’t plan on being an actress, she loves comedy, especially when working with the right people.
Ali Wong is best known for her shows ‘Baby Cobra’, ‘Hard Knock Wife’ and ‘Don Wong’. She’s also starred in films such as ‘Birds of Prey’ and her most recent TV series, ‘Beef’ which hit Netflix in April.
