Page 2 of 4 “Yeah, a lot of people really took a chance on me,” Kim laughs, commenting on her unknown status coming into the audition. “I’m definitely grateful to them.” Kim, who was born to a Swedish and British mother and a Filipino father, is originally from the Bay area. After moving to southern California to attend the University of Southern California (USC), she started going on auditions in L.A. her junior year, though acting was not her major at the time. “It’s funny because I was actually a communications major but I’ve always loved acting, especially doing musical theatre,” Kim, who has played parts in such productions as “South Pacific” and “Splendor in the Grass,” explains. Her Hollywood break-through role comes in “Ball Don’t Lie,” a coming-of-age film adapted from the popular novel written by Matt De La Pena. The film centers around a talented high school basketball player named Sticky (played by fellow newcomer Grayson Boucher), who struggles to overcome emotional scars from an early life tragedy, a difficult foster care system and his resulting obsessive-compulsive disorder. Kim plays Annie, Sticky’s girlfriend, who besides basketball is the only thing the 17-year-old basketball prodigy really cares about.
