Turning Red (2022)

Meilin "Mei" Lee
Exuberant, ambitious, and over-achieving, Chinese-Canadian Meilin Lee is a middle school force of nature. With her posse of loyal besties, Mei excels at school and obsesses over their fave boy band, 4*Town. At home with her mom, Mei is the dutiful and driven future keeper of the ancestral family temple. But when ancient magic turns Mei into a giant red panda, a gulf opens up between Mei and her mom, and forces a reckoning between Mei's two selves: the obedient daughter and spirited teenager.

Ming Lee
Elegantly turned out and poised at all times, Ming is the devoted keeper of the Lee Family Temple in Toronto's Chinatown. Ming takes her duties as spiritual leader and local entrepreneur quite seriously, but the role she prizes most is that of mother to her precious only daughter, Meilin. Fierce, stubborn, funny, controlling, and even infuriating, Ming is - as Mei would put it - "A lot", but her deep love for her family is always apparent.

Grandma Wu
A woman of legendary elegance and fiercely high standards, Grandma Wu sets the bar by which all is judged. With her daughter Ming in charge of the family temple, Grandma Wu now enjoys her retirement, playing mahjong and nitpicking her family from afar. She expects her granddaughter, Mei, to be the next temple keeper and ensure the family's legacy for years to come. And she expects Ming to be a mother just like she was: withholding, over-protective, light on praise and heavy on expectation.

Miriam Mendelsohn
Tomboyish Miriam is fairly mature-or as mature as a thirteen-year-old girl who's completely obsessed with the boy band 4*Town can get. Miriam is resolutely supportive, funny, loyal, and a total goof. In short, she's the bestest best bestie a girl could ever have.

Priya Mangal
Meticulous yet artsy, passionate yet stoic-Priya is a quiet wild card with a deadpan sense of humor and a good student who follows the rules. But that doesn't stop her from obsessing over the boy band, 4*Town.

Abby Park
Full of fury, tiny Abby is a stick of dynamite; a warrior who will not hesitate to launch herself at anyone who threatens her besties. Raised by strict parents, Abby plays the good girl card and follows the rules. But that doesn't stop her from being unruly and passionate about boy bands, her friends and saving the earth.

Tyler Nguyen-Baker
Tyler is that kid we all know from middle school: annoying, aggressive and always popping up when least wanted. But though he likes to play the snot-nosed jerk, inside, Tyler is just a kid trying to make it through middle school intact.

4*Town
4*Town, the hottest, coolest boy band of all time, is behind songs like "Nobody Like U"-the single from their latest album that's climbing all the charts. Their concerts are truly epic, featuring high-flying theatrics, lights, pyrotechnics and-best of all-the five dreamy members of 4*Town: Jesse, Tae Young, Robaire, Aaron T., and Aaron Z.

Black Ops Cold War (2020)

Russell Adler
Russell Adler is a mystery, even to those who have worked by his side for years. His history before joining the CIA in 1966 is known only to a few within Langley. His deep knowledge of tactics, fluency in Russian and German, and mastery of espionage make him one of the key operatives that the CIA can consistently rely upon.

Alex Mason
Alex Mason was a US Marine that stood out for his exceptional marksmanship during his tour of duty in South Korea. His talents pulled him into the dangerous world of the CIA's Special Activities Division. After falling into enemy hands during the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba, Mason was subjected to experimental mind control techniques which left him with lingering trauma. He continues to rely on his black ops partner, Frank Woods, to be his anchor to reality.

Frank Woods
Frank Woods ran away from home as a young kid, never to return. Enlisting in the Marines, Woods saw action in the Korean War, and afterwards became a sergeant in the MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War. In 1981, Woods was requested by Russell Adler to join his small team in a mission to stop an impending attack by the Soviet agent Perseus.

Jason Hudson
Jason Hudson grew up in the D.C. suburbs, dreaming of one day serving his country like his older brother in World War II. After joining the CIA, his intellect and hard-nosed determination advanced his reputation as someone fit for the most dangerous assignments, including a later stint during the Vietnam War with SOG.

Vanguard (2021)

Carver Butcher
Carver Butcher is a British Special Operations Executive officer who founded Task Force Vanguard during the last years of World War II. His task was to hunt down the remnants of the Third Reich that had scurried into hiding all over the world.
