Bio
Chinese Filipino, Spanish, New Zealand actor Charisse Uy started her acting journey working on many New Zealand made, US productions since 2017 including the Shannara Chronicles for MTV, The Legend of Monkey & Cowboy Bebop for Netflix and The Wilds for Amazon Studios. Most recently she has been playing the role of Lovely Rivera on New Zealand’s longest running TV series Shortland Street where she made many fans with her portrayal of the man-stealing, party girl who turns everything upside down, so upside down that she has been asked to return to the show for an extended period.
Other New Zealand screen highlights include the comedy drama series Raised by Refugees for Prime TV, TVNZ Beyond The Veil - Albularyo & Kāinga for NZIFF.
