Listen to "Grace Park From Hawaii 50 Battlestar Galactica And Freaks" on Spreaker. GRACE PARK is a fan-favorite for her starring roles on the critically acclaimed series "Battlestar Galactica," in which she played not one, but two leading roles (Boomer and Athena). Her performance garnered her a place in TV Guide's "100 Most Memorable Moments in TV History." For her seven-season-run on "Hawaii Five-0," Park brought heart, suspense, tragedy and sensuality to the iconic role of Kono Kalakaua (not as a man as originally written, but as a woman!) and she was nominated in both 2011 and 2012 for a "Teen Choice Award" for Choice TV Actress: Action. Park earned a nomination for Outstanding Newcomer Award in 2006 by the "Asian Excellence Awards" for her artistry. In 2010, she received the "Achievement Award in ntertainment" by the KoreAm Awards. In 2014, Park was honored with the "APEX Inspiration Award" and inducted into the "Asian Hall of Fame." Born in Los Angeles and raised in Canada, Park received a degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia before turning her attention to film and television. Immediate acclaim brought her "The Border" for which she was nominated a "Gemini Award" for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Dramatic Role, and the respected film credit for THE CLEANER starring opposite Benjamin Bratt. Currently, Park resides in Vancouver, British Columbia
