Aria Song is an actress and producer best known for Yellowstone (2018), SEAL Team (2017), and For All Mankind (2019).
Early Life
[edit]Aria is a multilingual actress born in Beijing. Her mother is a math teacher and her father is a oil painter and fine artist. Her grandfather is an acclaimed academic at the prestigious Renmin University, and her ancestry also includes Cambodian and Korean forebears. After graduating summa cum laude from Arizona State, she was the recipient of a Fulbright scholarship to South Korea and spent a year as a language and cultural ambassador in Cheong-ju. Upon completion of the grant, Aria returned stateside to shift gears and focus on her professional acting career. Subsequently, she began studying Stanislavksy, Method, and Shakespeare First Folio at Arizona Actor's Academy under the guidance of creative director and coach Brandy Hotchner, before moving to California in 2015.
Sports
[edit]Inspired by the films of Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and Bruce Lee, Aria began studying martial arts and eventually received a 3rd-degree brown belt in Shaolin Kung-fu. Growing up, she wanted to be a professional tennis player and also dabbled in basketball, badminton, snowboarding, and ping-pong. Her athleticism led her to play catch with legendary quarterback Kurt Warner in a Skittles Superbowl Commercial. Aria has also worked intermittently for Nordic Track as an iFit personal trainer, creating workouts in both English and Mandarin and at locations around the world. Additionally, Aria has been featured in campaigns for Adidas, Brooks, UFCFit, and Microsoft Band. Outside of fitness, she's also worked for companies such as Apple, Toyota, McDonalds, Invisalign, Marriott, and Intel.
Career
[edit]With an innate interest in cars and automobiles, her motorcycle riding skills kickstarted her
career with a role in the film "Dead in 5 Heartbeats[1]," based on the real-life story of Sonny Barger, a founding member of Hells Angels. The film stars David Della Rocco from the famed
"Boondock Saints". In 2007, Aria was involved in a motorcycle accident that left her Yamaha
R6 and another automobile totaled. She has multiple scars on her legs and body from the
crash.
Aria made her television debut on Paramount's "Yellowstone,[2]" followed by roles on CBS's "Seal Team," Apple TV+'s "For All Mankind, and BET+'s "The Family Business". The clip of her banter with Kevin Costner and the bear on Dutton's ranch went viral multiple times. She's also worked often in new media content, being featured twice on Youtube Red's "Escape the Night" show starring Joey Graceffa, and in "The Remember Hour" by Walt Disney Company's Maker Studios. One of the short films she helms- "The Fox's Den"- was produced by Google and screened at the Cannes Film Festival. She also plays the main villain in seasons 2 and 3 of the award-winning TV series "Chronicles of Jessica Wu," which features a superhero who is on the autism spectrum.
Voiceover
[edit]In 2021, Aria lent her voice to dub the lead of the famous Netflix Korean show "Hellbound[3]," directed by Yeon Sang-ho of "Train to Busan" fame. And at the end of 2022, Aria's English dub for the lead character of "The Glory" played by Song Hye-kyo, received rave reviews and a clip from the English version of the show went viral on Twitter with over 2 million views.[4] The iconic moment was then recreated by Weeekly's Jihan on an episode of Mnet's "The Queendom Puzzle." It gained so much recognition that the Korean website Dispatch / Naver sent a reporter to the States and conducted an interview[5] regarding the dubbing process and the behind the scenes of that particular moment showcased in the clip.
In 2023, she once again voiced for Korean actress Kim Hyun-joo as the titular character in "Jung E". Her voice can be heard in upcoming releases on Netflix and Disney+. Additionally, she was also the voice of the lead character in "Happy Family," written by William Pei Shih, which was the debut release of the short audio story platform URSA,[6] and featured on Literary Hub. URSA is founded by novelist and journalist Dawnie Walton, Longreads founder Mark Armstrong, and author Deesha Philyaw
