Career

At 25 years old, Grace Park Actress secured the role of high school student Shannon Ng on the Canadian teen soap opera Edgemont. She made appearances in the miniseries Battlestar Galactica in 2003 and continued portraying similar or related characters in subsequent series and films.

Grace Park Actress played a part in the 2007 film West 32nd, a crime drama set in New York City’s Korean neighborhood. She portrayed Lt. Sandra Telfair in Electronic Arts’ Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, alongside her Battlestar Galactica co-star, Tricia Helfer.

In 2008, she had supporting roles in the A&E series The Cleaner until its cancellation on September 25, 2009, and the CBC series The Border until its cancellation in 2010. In 2009, Grace Park Actress had a cameo appearance (uncredited) in the ninth season, twentieth episode of the television show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation titled “A Space Oddity”. She appeared as a fan in a crowd at a science fiction convention, objecting to a gritty remake of a Star Trek–like series, similar to the Battlestar Galactica remake in which she starred. In 2009, she reprised her role from Battlestar Galactica in the television movie Battlestar Galactica: The Plan.

In 2010, she appeared in the Fox series Human Target as Eva Kahn and played a main character, Kono Kalakaua, in the 2010 CBS revival of Hawaii Five-0. Grace Park Actress and fellow Hawaii Five-0 co-star Daniel Dae Kim departed from the show in 2017, leaving the cast without any Asian regulars, following a salary dispute. It was reported that CBS’s latest offer paid them 10–15% less than their white co-stars, Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan. CBS claimed they had provided “unprecedented” salary raises to Park and Kim, suggesting they had been paid significantly less under their old contracts. Some critics noted that the network’s refusal to pay Kim and Park on matching terms with O’Loughlin and Caan was CBS’s formal declaration that they were determined to protect a disparity that had been a sore point since the show’s premiere. The assertion was that O’Loughlin and Caan were Hawaii Five-0 “stars” with Kim and Park being merely “co-leads” or supporting cast, yet Kim and Park were originally heavily featured in advertising and proved to be crucial parts of the show’s success.
