"I never saw anyone that looked like me": 'Van Helsing's Jennifer Cheon talks about being mixed-race in the industry and celebrating differences

Other than acting, Jennifer Cheon has simultaneously indulged in activism for equality, spanning all realms, especially gender equality and LGBTQ rights

Syfy's 'Van Helsing' is gearing up to dazzle fans with the upcoming season three. With so much to look forward to, once the season premieres on October 5, what would definitely catch your eye is a certain 'Ivory', especially considering the season two finale offered us some rather teasing wraps on her character. Speaking about the same, the face behind the character, Jennifer Cheon, promises that fans will be provided their due share of demands when it comes to the character.

Cheon, who is half Korean and half Mexican, was born in Vancouver and has other eminent productions like 'The Drive', 'Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce', 'Zoo', 'Minority Report', 'Arrow', 'Supernatural', 'The 100', 'Lucifer', and 'Travelers', among others on her list of credits.
