Ha was selected as Ambassador in recognition of her “utmost values of the acting profession,” her positive influence on emerging performers, and her commitment to humanitarian and public service initiatives. In her role, Ha will attend the Actors Rising event, a special evening spotlighting the next generation of actors, provide behind-the-scenes access to the awards, participate in pre-show activities, and promote the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.
Previous Actor Awards Ambassadors include Sofia Carson, Noah Centineo, Taylor Zakhar Perez, Yara Shahidi, Joey King, Alexandra Daddario, Ross Butler, Jurnee Smollett, Haley Lu Richardson, Phil Dunster, Logan Browning, Antonia Gentry, and Harry Shum Jr.
Commenting on the honor, Ha said, “Being named The Actor Awards Ambassador is such an honor because this ceremony is about actors celebrating actors. There is something uniquely powerful about being recognized within your own community. As someone who cares so deeply about the craft and about collaboration, it means so much to represent the next generation of actors and be part of an event that uplifts storytelling.”
Ha made history as the first East Asian actress to lead Bridgerton. Her television credits include Netflix’s The Survivors, HBO’s Dune: Prophecy, and Paramount+’s Halo. On stage, she recently made her UK theatre debut starring in Jean Genet’s The Maids at London’s Donmar Warehouse, following previous performances at Sydney Theatre Company in Lord of the Flies.
Silent House Productions will produce the annual ceremony for the third consecutive year, continuing its partnership with SAG-AFTRA in celebrating outstanding contributions to the acting profession.
