I've been acting since I was a little girl but never pursued it until now. While growing up and having Asian parents, artistic endeavors were not a road to a career. I had to be a doctor, a lawyer, or an engineer. We immigrated to the States from Viet Nam and seeing how my parents struggled to learn English and each of them working two jobs to support us, I didn't have the heart to pursue my passion. Instead I pacified them and went into the science field but I had always maintained my passion for acting. Now that I'm older and more established in my career, I am determined to give my passion a chance.

Kim Mai - Kim Ly
My son was searching for an acting role for himself and found a posting for Terrie's film. The next thing I knew I'm in for acting. I couldn't believe it; I got life after IT ! I love it. I grew up loving to sing but was not in the liberty to choose that as my career since under my parents' old-fashion's view it's not a good job. But I think it was in my blood, now two of my three sons are actors. One of them is pursuing the career on Broadway. Acting has created a good balance for me after many many uncreative but good years in the Information Technology arena.
