Ming-Na stars as Camile Wray on Syfy's "Stargate Universe." Human resources executive Wray finds herself the highest ranking member of the International Oversight Committee (IOA) onboard the Destiny. Like many of those stranded on the ship, she is devastated by the separation from loved ones back on earth.

Ming-Na has long been a huge fan of science fiction, and is thrilled to be working on "Stargate Universe" as Camille Wray. "As a kid, I've always loved pretending I was in outer space on a cool spaceship!  Who knew one day that would be my job!  I smile every time I walk on the set!"

Ming-Na has also been a series regular on "Vanished," "Inconceivable," and "The Single Guy." Soap opera fans may remember Ming-Na as Lien Hughes on "As The World Turns."  Most recently, Ming-Na guest starred in "Boston Legal," "Private Practice," "George Lopez," and "Two and A Half Men."

Ming-Na graduated with high honors from Carnegie-Mellon University in drama, and fulfilled her dream of performing on Broadway in David Henry Hwang's Tony nominated play "Golden Child."  Theatre will always be her first love as an actress.
