Ella Choi

Ella Choi

Ella Choi is an up-and-coming actress who gained international recognition for her breakout performance in the 2023 Amazon Original slasher-comedy Totally Killer. In the film, she portrays the 1987 version of Kara Lim, a member of the "Sweet Sixteen" social circle and the teenage daughter of the town’s sheriff, played by Randall Park. Her character is a quintessential "mean girl" of the eighties, and Choi’s performance was noted for adding to the film’s authentic period atmosphere while serving as a foil to Kiernan Shipka’s modern-day protagonist. The character of Kara is a central figure in the mystery, as her eventual fate in the original timeline is one of the driving forces behind the film’s multi-decade plot. Beyond her work in Totally Killer, Choi has been active in the North American television and film industry, often appearing in projects that highlight her versatility. She has appeared in several Canadian-filmed productions and television guest spots, including an appearance in the series Kung Fu. As a relatively new face in Hollywood, she is part of a growing wave of Asian-American and Asian-Canadian talent making an impact in mainstream genre films. While there are other public figures with the same name—including a prominent pediatric dentist and a singer/model—the actress Ella Choi is distinguished by her affiliation with major production houses like Blumhouse Television and her burgeoning status as a "scream queen" in the horror-comedy genre.
