Lynn Chen began performing at the age of 5, singing with the Metropolitan and NYC Opera Children's Chorus. She made her feature film debut in Sony Pictures Classic's Saving Face, a role that won her the title of "Outstanding Newcomer" at the 2006 AXAwards. Since then, she has appeared in over a dozen films, most recently starring in Surrogate Valentine, Yes We're Open, and Nice Girls Crew.

Lynn is also a prominent blogger, with three sites that she oversees - The Actor's Diet, a personal daily food journal, Thick Dumpling Skin, a community forum dealing with Asian-Americans/body image, and most recently, Mourning Music, in honor of her father Fu-Yen Chen (who passed away in August 2012). She has been recognized with numerous awards, including both the People's and Editor's Choice for CBS Los Angeles Most Valuable Blogger. Marie Claire Magazine profiled her in their "New Generation of Social Activists" article.

Lynn's honesty and willingness to connect with an audience has earned her thousands of fans in the entertainment and food worlds, but also beyond. She is an Ambassador for the National Eating Disorders Association, and has worked with The National Organization of Women (NOW) on their "Love Your Body Campaign." In addition to her acting, blogging, and activist causes, she keeps busy by hosting galas, guest judging, speaking to college students, and promoting her various projects through television, radio, and internet interviews.
