Naomi Matsuda (Dr. Li Finnegan) and Romy Park (Poppy Nozawa) from The Bold and the Beautiful sat down for an in-depth look at their careers, their sisterly rivalry on The Bold and the Beautiful and their love of animals. These two on-screen sisters have been at odds for months, but just as things have started to warm, another major bombshell drops.

Naomi Matsuda, born in Nagasaki, Japan, moved to San Diego at five and began training in traditional Japanese dance at seven. She later expanded into jazz and ballet before transitioning into acting. Her credits include The X-Files, Californication, New Girl, American Crime Story, The Rookie, and Bullet Train. In 2022, she earned a Daytime Emmy nomination for her role as Dr. Li Finnegan on The Bold and the Beautiful. Off-screen, she’s passionate about animal rescue.

Romy Park, a New Jersey native, trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London. She has appeared in The Rookie: Feds and Ghost Whisperer and joined The Bold and the Beautiful in 2023 as Poppy Nozawa, a free-spirited character with a mysterious past. A classically trained violinist and skilled hula hoop dancer, Romy also co-hosted Romy and Dan’s High School Reunion Podcast.
