Liu has stated that she grew up in a diverse neighborhood. She learned to speak Mandarin at home and began studying English when she was five.[15] She studied the martial art kali-eskrima-silat as a hobby when she was young.[16] Liu attended Joseph Pulitzer Middle School (I.S.145), and graduated from Stuyvesant High School.[17] She later enrolled at New York University and transferred to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she was a member of the Chi Omega sorority and studied Asian languages and cultures.[17]

edit

At the age of 19, while traveling on the subway, Liu was discovered by an agent. She appeared in one commercial as a result.[18] As a member of the Basement Arts student-run theater group,[19] she auditioned in 1989 for the University of Michigan's production of Alice in Wonderland during her senior year of college. Although she had originally tried out for only a supporting role,[20] Liu was cast in the lead. While in line to audition for the musical Miss Saigon in 1990, she told The New York Times, "There aren't many Asian roles, and it's very difficult to get your foot in the door."[21] In May 1992, Liu made her New York stage debut in Fairy Bones, directed by Tina Chen.[22]

Liu had small roles in films and TV, marking her debut. In 1992, she made her big-screen debut in the Hong Kong film Rhythm of Destiny, which starred Danny Lee and Aaron Kwok.[23] In 1993, she appeared in an episode of L.A. Law as a Chinese widow giving her evidence in Mandarin.[24] Liu starred on the sitcom Pearl, which lasted one season. Shortly after the end of Pearl's run in 1997, Liu was cast in a role on Ally McBeal. Liu originally auditioned for the role of Nelle Porter (played by Portia de Rossi), and the character Ling Woo was later created specifically for her. Liu's part on the series was originally temporary, but high audience ratings secured Liu as a permanent cast member.
