Lana Lei

Actor Writer

My name is Lana Lei (she/her) and I am a British Chinese actor and writer from South West London. I am in my final year of actor training at the Guildford School of Acting. What excites me most is telling stories that represent the East and Southeast Asian community, and how growing up as a working class, woman of colour has shaped the way I navigate the world.
