‘Jane Park Smith’ (aka Jane Park) was born in Seoul, Korea and immigrated to the U.S. when she was nearly three years old. An American actress, model, published author, martial artist, healthy foodie, and speaker, her diversified TV credits include Reno911, The Cape, Rizzoli & Isles, 24, Bones, and FOX’s summer drama “Gang Related” as Korean mob boss named Su-Jin. Think of her as the lead “queen-pin” and savory-evil to the core. Her films include ”Street Warrior,” ”Quarantine,” ”Bring It On,” and she reveled in bringing Raven to life in the film ”Scream at the Devil,” which fleshes out the gripping realities of schizophrenia. However, nothing has compared to the magic evident onset when she was living the life of Mina in “Heartbreak.” In this inspired by true events screenplay, Jane (as Mina) becomes a top-notch pro-pool player fighting for her son’s welfare. “Heartbreak” is close to her heart as it is a film inspired by real events with redemptive overtones. She also relished her first action feature as fight specialist, sadistic bad-a** Tess in Boone-the Bounty Hunter. A first for Jane on screen in many ways! For more on her onscreen activities : IMDB !
She is quite excited to return to the stage for her AEA debut as Setsuko in the main cast of Hero Theatre’s 2022 post-pandemic (rescheduled) production of TEA by Velina Hasu Houston.
Jane loves traveling. Croatia, Germany, and Jamaica are of her favorite work and leisure destinations. Her heart longs to see Kenya and meet her foster daughter through World Vision.
Her heart’s driving desire is to serve and speak out for the voiceless and oppressed worldwide. Once a spokesperson for The Katrina Family Relocation Project and supporter of the Global Volunteer Network, Jane enjoys volunteer opportunities. She’s earned a Presidential honor as a former Ms. America for her charitable community activism.
