Garrett Wang, born December 15, 1968, in Riverside, California, is an American actor best known for portraying Ensign Harry Kim in Star Trek: Voyager. He has also been active in science fiction conventions, hosting panels and advocating for Asian-American representation in Hollywood.

     Wang grew up in a Taiwanese-American family, moving frequently due to his parents' careers. He attended kindergarten in Indiana, lived in Bermuda, then moved to Memphis, Tennessee, before settling in California. He graduated from Harding Academy High School in Memphis and later attended UCLA, where he studied Asian studies with a focus on theater.

     His acting career began with guest roles in All-American Girl (1994) and Angry Café (1995). In 1995, he was cast as Harry Kim, a Starfleet ensign, in Voyager, appearing in all seven seasons. Despite his popularity, his character was never promoted, which frustrated fans and cast members alike. Wang also petitioned to direct an episode, but his request was denied, making him the only Star Trek actor to be refused this opportunity.

     Beyond Star Trek, Wang appeared in Into the West (2005), Star Trek: Renegades (2015), and voiced characters in Star Trek Online. He has been a regular convention guest, hosting panels and interviewing Star Trek alumni. In 2010, he became the director of Trek Track at Dragon Con, one of the largest sci-fi conventions.
