Exclusive: Hong Chau (Downsizing) has been tapped for a key role on Watchmen, HBO’s upcoming drama series from Damon Lindelof based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ iconic limited comic series.
Written by Lindelof, Watchmen is considered a dark satirical and dystopian take on the superhero genre.

Chau, who is from Vietnamese descent, recently played Vietnamese immigrant Ngoc Lan in Alexander Payne’s feature Downsizing, earning a Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations for her role.
On Watchmen, Chau joins a cast that includes Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr.,...
