Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight: Grace Park

Who didn’t sit up and take notice when Grace Park guest-starred on Stargate SG:1 as the very hot Asian girl who had a thing for Daniel Jackson? Then she parlayed that into a major role on the newly minted Battlestar Galactica, which gave her enough street cred to do voice work on games like Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Currently, you can catch Grace on BSG, which enters its final fourth season next month. Here’s our Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight on Grace Park, who, at 5′9″, is probably the tallest Korean woman I’ve ever seen, on film or off.

Grace’s bio from Wikipedia:

Grace Park (born March 14, 1974) is an American-Canadian actress of Korean descent. She is best known as Sharon Valerii (and the various iterations of Number Eight, a humanoid Cylon) on Battlestar Galactica, as well as Shannon Ng in the Canadian television series teen soap Edgemont.

Born in Los Angeles, California, Park and her family moved to Canada when she was 22 months old. She was raised in a Korean community in Vancouver. Grace Park graduated from Magee Secondary in 1992, holds a degree in psychology from the University of British Columbia and speaks English and Korean, along with some French and Cantonese. She is currently studying Spanish. As of 2005, Park lives in Vancouver with her husband, real estate developer Phil Kim. She was named #93 in Maxim Online’s 2006 List.
