Lisa Olivia Munn (born July 3, 1980) is an American actress. After an internship at a news station in Tulsa, she moved to Los Angeles where she began her professional career as a television host for the gaming network G4, primarily on the series Attack of the Show! from 2006 until 2010. Munn appeared as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart from 2010 to 2011. She is known for her three-season-long portrayal of Sloan Sabbith in Aaron Sorkin's HBO political drama series The Newsroom (2012–2014).
When Munn was two years old, her parents divorced and her mother married a member of the United States Air Force. The family relocated to Utah, where they resided until 1986.[9] Munn's stepfather was then transferred to Yokota Air Base near Tachikawa in Tokyo, Japan, where she spent her formative years.[10][11] She has recalled how her stepfather was "verbally abusive" and demeaning:[12]
"When [he] would be screaming his head off in the living room, I would hustle everybody into my room and launch into imitations of teachers or do scenes from movies. And that would take their minds off of the hell that was happening down the hall."[13]
In late 2005, Munn began her role as teen surfer Mily Acuna over two seasons of the television drama Beyond the Break, which aired during Noggin's teen block, The N.[21] She enjoys surfing and continues to practice the sport.[22] She originally auditioned for the role of Kai Kealoha, but the producers wanted a "local girl".[23] She also appeared in the film The Road to Canyon Lake.[24]
In 2006, Munn won a contest put out to the public to find a replacement for departing co-host Kevin Rose on the popular G4 network program Attack of the Show! She then began co-hosting with Kevin Pereira on April 10. She replaced temporary co-host Sarah Lane. The network, devoted to the world of video games and the video games lifestyle, was at first hesitant to hire Munn. Although she admits video games were her "weak point", she was confident in her technical knowledge.[25] On the show, she was featured with journalist Anna David in a segment called "In Your Pants", which deals with sex and relationship questions from viewers. While working on Attack of the Show!, she hosted Formula D, a now defunct program about American drift racing, and an online podcast called Around the Net, formerly known as The Daily Nut, for G4. She left Attack of the Show! in December 2010 and was replaced by Candace Bailey.[26] She appeared in the Rob Schneider film Big Stan (2007), where she played Schneider's character's receptionist Maria.[11] She had a significant role in the horror film Insanitarium, where she played a nurse at an asylum.[27]
2010–2014: The Newsroom and breakthrough
She had roles in the films Date Night (2010) and Iron Man 2 (2010). Robert Downey, Jr. praised Munn for her improvisation skills and led the crew in a round of applause.[28]
Munn hosted Microsoft's Bing-a-thon, an advertisement on Hulu for the Microsoft search-engine Bing, on June 8, 2009, alongside Jason Sudeikis.[29] Munn appeared in ABC Family's Greek, portraying Cappie's love interest, Lana. In May 2010, NBC announced that Munn would star on the television series Perfect Couples. The half-hour romantic comedy premiered on January 20, 2011.[30] The series was canceled before it completed its first season run.[31]
On June 3, 2010, Munn debuted in her new role as a correspondent on Comedy Central's The Daily Show.[32] She went on to appear in 16 more episodes as a correspondent, with TV Guide naming her signature segment "Tiger Mothering," in which she mocked the high expectations of Chinese mothers, in part by interviewing her own mother.[33] Her last episode as a correspondent aired September 2, 2011. She returned for a brief segment in host Jon Stewart's final show on August 6, 2015.
In 2010, Munn guest-starred on NBC's comedy-drama Chuck as a CIA agent.[34] In 2011, Munn appeared in the comedy film I Don't Know How She Does It (2011) as Momo. In 2012, Munn had a leading role in The Babymakers, a minor role in Freeloaders, and appeared in Magic Mike, directed by Steven Soderbergh. She also appeared as Angie, Nick's stripper girlfriend, in three episodes in season two of FOX's sitcom New Girl.[35]
Munn gained prominence in a lead role in Aaron Sorkin's drama series The Newsroom on HBO. In the series, she played Sloan Sabbith, an economist who worked on the show's fictional news network, ACN, alongside lead anchor Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels). The series ran for three seasons from 2012 to 2015.[36] Since then, Munn and her costar Thomas Sadoski have discussed with Sorkin their desire for the show to return.[37]
Munn played a correspondent in "True Colors," the May 12, 2014 episode of the Showtime documentary series Years of Living Dangerously in which she interviewed Washington State Governor Jay Inslee about his efforts to reduce CO2 emissions in his home state. As of June 2014, Munn has been hired as the main promoter of Proactiv acne cleanser products starring in several commercials and one infomercial for the product. The commercials show Munn experiencing acne herself.
2015–present
Beginning in January 2015, Munn voiced the character Phoebe Callisto on the Disney Junior animated series Miles from Tomorrowland. In 2016, Munn was cast as Elizabeth Braddock / Psylocke (one of Apocalypse's Four Horsemen) in X-Men: Apocalypse (for which she turned down an offer to appear in the Deadpool film of that same year).[38] Though the film received mixed reviews,[39] it was a financial success, grossing over $500 million worldwide.[40] The same year, Munn had a leading role portraying a technical supervisor in the comedy film Office Christmas Party.[41]
She also had a starring role in the television series Six as a CIA operative[42] and appeared on Season 13 of America's Got Talent as a guest judge in the season's second Judge Cuts episode. Munn also starred as a biologist in the 2018 science fiction horror film The Predator, the fourth installment in the Predator franchise.[43] Following the film's release, it was revealed that Munn's co-star, Steven Wilder Striegel, with whom she shared a scene, was a registered sex offender who had preyed on a 14-year-old girl.[43] Upon learning of this, Munn informed her fellow cast members, and requested that the scene (Striegel's sole appearance in the film) be cut from the film, which 20th Century Fox agreed to.[43]
Munn subsequently had a lead role in the Netflix-released romantic comedy film Love Wedding Repeat (2020), a remake of the French feature Plan de Table,[44] and the film The Gateway (2021), about a social worker assigned to the care of the daughter of a single mother (played by Munn) who intervenes when the dad returns from prison and lures them into a life of crime.[45]
Munn has appeared in advertising campaigns for Nike, Pepsi and Neutrogena. She appeared on the Fall 2006 cover of Foam magazine in September, in Men's Edge magazine in August, and was featured in a pictorial in Complex in November 2006, where she later became a columnist.[46] In February 2007, she appeared as "Babe of the Month" in a non-nude pictorial in Playboy magazine.[23] She discusses this shoot in her book Suck it, Wonder Woman: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek.[47]
Munn also appeared in the July/August 2007 issue of Men's Health. In September 2007, she was featured in the Italian Vanity Fair for their "Hot Young Hollywood" Issue. Munn appeared in the Winter/Spring 2009 issue of Men's Health Living.[48] She was featured as the cover girl for the July/August 2009 issue of Playboy, and later on the cover of the January 2010 and February 2011 issues of Maxim. Munn appears on the cover of the January 2012 issue of FHM magazine.[49] She was voted #2 by readers on Maxim's list of their Hot 100 Women of 2012.[50][51]
Munn's book Suck It, Wonder Woman was released on July 6, 2010. In a review for Time Out New York, Olivia Giovetti said that the book offers glimpses into Munn's life, but does not go into depth.[52]
Activism and charity work
In 2011, Munn teamed up with Dosomething.org's Green Your School Challenge. She was a spokesperson for the campaign by filming a PSA regarding the challenge, and sat on the panel of judges that evaluated the entries.[53]
In regard to the subject matter in Deliver Us from Evil, Munn has said that "I didn't believe in the supernatural before this movie." However, after viewing footage from the New York City Police Department of alleged real-life exorcisms, she said "I'm a full believer [now]."[62][63]
From 2014 to 2017, Munn was in a relationship with NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers.[68] In 2021, she began dating comedian John Mulaney,[69] and in September of that year, the pair announced that Munn was pregnant.[70] Their son was born on November 24, 2021.[71][72][73] Their son's middle name is in honor of Munn's Chinese-Vietnamese heritage.[74][75][76] Munn and Mulaney married in July 2024 in New York.[77] Their second child, a daughter, was born via surrogate on September 14, 2024.[78]
In March 2024, Munn revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer the previous year. Munn announced that she had four surgeries in the previous ten months, including a double mastectomy. Munn described the cancer as "aggressive" and "fast moving", but said it was caught with "enough time that I had options".[79]
