is a proud Chinese American actor currently based in Southern California.

Sabrina considers herself a California Girl, even though she is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Coincidentally, she is not a huge fan of rain.

After spending many rainy years in Pittsburgh, she moved to Ithaca, New York to complete her Bachelor of Arts at Cornell University. There, she double-majored in Government and Psychology with minors in Theatre and Inequality Studies. Ithaca taught her that she is also not a huge fan of snow.

Luckily, Sabrina moved to an area much more agreeable to her weather preferences for her Master of Fine Arts degree. She graduated from the MFA Acting Program at the University of California, San Diego in June 2023. After graduation, she decided to stay in the sun and split her time between San Diego and Los Angeles.

She is interested in making art that is surprising, irreverent, heartwarming, messy, deeply human, and most importantly — ugly.

“…Sabrina J. Liu is equal parts spunk and awkwardness…Liu brings such warmth to her portrayal that Cassie springs to life as a layered teenager hiding behind a careful facade.”

“Other stand-outs for me…Sabrina J. Liu as Mamillius/Time/Servant, her top-of-second-half explanation of the time-lapse was charming in its own right.”
