About Maggie Q

Margaret Denise Quigley (born May 22, 1979), professionally known as Maggie Q, is an American actress, activist, and model.

She began her professional career in Hong Kong, with starring roles in the action films Gen-Y Cops (2000) and Naked Weapon (2002), before appearing in the American productions Mission: Impossible III (2006), Live Free or Die Hard (2007), Priest (2011) and The Protégé (2021).

Maggie's ethnicity is an exotic and complex mixture. She was born in Hawaii, her father is of Polish/French-Canadian/Irish extraction, whilst her mother is Vietnamese. Although born as Maggie Quigley, she changed her name to Maggie Q as she claims that many of the Chinese crew and cast she worked with on Chinese productions could not pronounce her surname.
