Dianne Doan “Warrior” Queen making a name for herself in Hollywood

Although known primarily for her exceptional work in drama, Dianne Doan most recently broke through into comedy by completing two independent films, “Better Half” a surreal romantic comedy in which she starred as the lead, as well as “Reunion” another comedy in which she had a supporting role. She also just completed a recurring role on Amazon’s comedy, “The Consultant”.

Currently, Doan is shooting her third season as the lead in the HBO Max series “Warrior,” which premiered in the spring of 2019. The show, co-created by Jonathan Tropper (Banshee) and Shannon Lee, is a period piece led by British actor Andrew Koji, and is inspired by the writings and work of Bruce Lee. It is a period crime drama set against the backdrop of the brutal Tong Wars in San Francisco’s Chinatown in the late 1800s. 

Doan’s past film and television credits consists of the critically acclaimed History Channel series “Vikings,” the Disney Channel Original Movie “Descendants” which garnered more than 12 million total viewers, ABC’s “agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and “Once Upon A Time,” TV Land’s “Impastor,” and Cartoon Network’s “Tower Prep.” Previous film credits include the short film “When I Saw You,” and indie film “Last Night in Suburbia.” Aside from acting, Doan also has a background in dance and was a professional contemporary dancer early on in her career.

Born and raised in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Dianne now calls Los Angeles home.
