Garrett Wang is Ops/Communication Officer Harry Kim on Star Trek: Voyager, produced by Paramount Network Television for broadcast on UPN. A recent graduate of the Starfleet Academy, Harry boards the Starship U.S.S. Voyager after a stellar academic career. While he is nervous about living up to his own expectations, Harry looks forward to the challenges of space exploration.
Born in Riverside, California, Wang spent his formative years in Indiana, Bermuda and Memphis. He moved to Los Angeles and attended the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) where he majored in Asian Studies. Wang credits UCLA theater professor Jenny Rountree as a key influence in his development as an actor. "Jenny was responsible for my first breakthrough," he explains. "She inspired me to go beyond the status quo."
Wang, in his first performance outside of college, garnered unprecedented critical acclaim for his portrayal of John Lee in the lead role of Chay Yew's "Porcelain" at the Burbage Theater. Despite a busy schedule, Wang has continued to perform in various stage readings such as "Model Minority" for the Los Angeles Theater Center, "Woman Warrior" for the Mark Taper Forum and "A Language of Their Own" for the Intiman Theater.
Prior to joining the cast of Star Trek: Voyager, Wang guest starred in the premiere episode of the ABC series, All American Girl starring Margaret Cho. "I believe that I now have a huge responsibility in being one of a very small number of Asian-Americans appearing on television regularly." Wang explains, "My goal now is to do the best job possible playing Harry Kim and to begin repaying my parents for the unaccountable financial support they have given me throughout the years."
