Hollywood Obsessed

During the second part of his fascinating conversation with actress Amy Hill, Tony asks her about how the part of “Kumu” on Magnum P.I. came to her, what it was like for the cast when CBS canceled them after four glorious years on primetime TV this past summer, and what are the plans for season five for this exciting Hawaii-based, action drama television series – now that NBC has picked them up for two more seasons! 

MAGNUM P.I. PREMIERES ON NBC SUNDAY, FEB 19th at 9/8c

Amy Hill's television and film credits number over 180. She is also known in the theatre world as a respected performance artist, having written and performed a number of one-woman shows, including the trilogy of Tokyo Bound, Reunion, and Beside Myself.

She's worked with regional theaters such as The Mark Taper Forum, Berkeley Rep, Seattle Rep, Actors Theater of Louisville, The Public Theater in NYC and appeared on Broadway in Lincoln Center's Twelfth Night that also aired on PBS' Live from Lincoln Center. She is proud to consider East West Players as her LA Theater "home" where she has also performed, directed and taught.

Amy’s first major role on television was as Yung-Hee “Grandma” Kim on the first Asian American family TV sitcom “All-American Girl” where her character became the breakout character of the short lived, but ground breaking television series.

Amy has been a mainstay on American television as a regular in several series. Her most notable roles being, Mrs. DePaulo on “That’s So Raven”, Mama Tohru on “Jackie Chan Adventures”, Mrs. Hasagawa on “Lilo & Stitch: The Series”, Ah-Mah Jasmine Lee in “The Life and Times of Juniper Lee”, Judy Harvey in “Enlightened”, and “American Dad!” as Mah Mah.

She was a series regular on the Amazon Video Web television show “Just Add Magic” along with recurring in “UnReal” as Dr. Wagerstein on the basic cable network Lifetime and The CW romantic comedy musical “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” as Lourdes Chan.

In film, she is perhaps best known for her roles as Mrs. Kwan in “The Cat in the Hat”, Sue in “50 First Dates”, and Mrs. Ho-Kim in “Next Friday.”

She currently plays “Kumu” on the NBC TV series “Magnum P.I.” which premieres on NBC Sunday, February 19th at 9/8c
