Olivia Munn: Check Out Her Best Roles So Far

Born July 3, 1980, Olivia Munn didn't have the easiest childhood. When her mother, who was born and raised in Vietnam, divorced her father, Olivia was just two-years-old. Her family would relocate a number of times due to her mother's position in the military, and on one relocation her mother met Olivia's step-father who became verbally abusive to Olivia and her siblings over the years. Returning to the States, Olivia wouldn't let the hardships of her childhood define her, and  completed a degree in journalism and minor in dramatic arts before starting her rise to fame!

After getting her start at Fox Sports Networks, Olivia Munn decided live sports-casting was not for her. Moving to LA to pursue an acting career, Olivia would take on the role of teen surfer "Mily Acuna" on TV drama Beyond the Break before landing a spot as co-host on G4 Network's Attack of the Show!. While Munn wasn't at first considered to take the role due to her lack of video game knowledge, producers took a chance that paid off and audiences loved her!

After four years of co-hosting Attack of the Show!, Olivia Munn would briefly work for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, along with smaller parts in Date Night (2010) and Iron Man 2 (2010) before landing a spot on hit political drama series The Newsroom! With Munn's journalism background the role of "Sloan Sabbith" was perfect for her and would gain her international recognition!
