Born in Shanghai, China, Li moved with her family to Bogotá, Colombia at the age of six, and then moved again to New York City at nine years old. Once in NYC, Li’s parents enrolled her in classes to study Chinese Classical Dance and she fell in love with performing on stage. She attended the esteemed LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts and State University of New York at Purchase’s Acting Conservatory, further honing her craft. She went on to land roles in dozens of off-Broadway plays, before landing the lead role of Liat in the first Broadway revival of “South Pacific” opposite Matthew Morrison.
Li recently appeared in Sky Italia’s “Devils” (2022) opposite Alessandro Borghi and Patrick Dempsey, as well as in the Netflix Original Series “Wu Assassins” which aired in 2019. Other credits include: “Sex/Life” for Netflix, “Evil” for CBS, “Why Women Kill” for CBS All Access, a series regular role opposite John Cho on FOX’s “The Exorcist” (season two), and a lead role on the FOX series “Minority Report,” amongst others. In 2022, Li was cast in Peacock’s upcoming comedic thriller series “Based on a True Story.” This year, Li Jun Li can be seen starring opposite Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie in Academy Award winner Damien Chazelle’s upcoming feature film, “Babylon” (Paramount Pictures).
