About
Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Tiger Tam is a passionate performer and storyteller. Her creative pursuits have taken her to many spots on the globe, where she has sought opportunities to hone her martial arts, dance, acting, comedy, and filmmaking skills.
Tiger received her bachelor's degree from UCLA in 2019, where she majored in French and minored in Film/Digital Media at UCLA TFT (School of Theatre, Film, & Television). She split her three years of undergraduate study between Los Angeles and Bordeaux, France, where she spent a semester traveling Europe and studying French and American cinema. Whilst at UCLA, Tiger joined LCC Theatre Company, the largest Asian American theater group in the country (alumni including Randall Park and Ali Wong). There she wrote and starred in one-act plays; through LCC, Tiger discovered her passion for improv and began taking classes at UCB Los Angeles. During her time as a student, Tiger starred in two short films at UCLA, and one LMU thesis film.
In addition to acting, Tiger is an accomplished martial artist. At the age of four, she began training Hung Gar and Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu at Au's Shaolin Arts, in Honolulu, under Sifu and sixth degree black belt Ben Seng Au. What started as a childhood obsession with the Ang Lee film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, transformed into a life-long journey with the art. She competed and won regional and national tournaments and in 2012 was inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame as Jr. Black Belt of the Year. She is currently is a Senior Instructor at Au's Shaolin Arts.
In the last year, she has also added Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to her repertoire, training gi and nogi. To bring her martial arts skills to the stage and screen, Tiger began taking stunt work, parkour, and tricking classes in L.A., at gyms including Joining All Movement (JAM) and Tempest Freerunning Academy. An extreme-sports junkie, Tiger also gained experience in tandem surfing, earning a podium finish at Duke's Oceanfest in Waikīkī. She hopes to continue to bring her love of fitness to future acting endeavors.
Tiger currently resides in Honolulu. In addition to auditioning and working on-set, Tiger can most happily be found surfing, hiking, and serving as an excellent dog mom!
