Michelle Pokopac is an American actor and producer of mixed-Korean descent.

She continues to work in theatre and film regionally in the US and in Atlanta, repped by Houghton Talent and Kreativ Media Partners Management.

Her relationship with art, social justice, and identity have blended harmoniously into a life and career that have deepened her pillars of gratitude, joy, and passion. |
