Lisa Olivia Munn was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Her mother, Kim, lived in Vietnam, and is of Chinese descent, while her father, Winston Barrett Munn, is from a family with deep roots in the American South. She has four older siblings. Olivia's parents divorced when she was two, and she was raised by her mother and stepfather, an Air Force serviceman. They left Oklahoma and lived in many locations, including Tokyo, Japan. When the family eventually returned to the US, Olivia moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. After a few small roles her career took a very promising turn in 2006 when she landed the role of Mily Acuna in the Hawaii-lensed TV series Beyond the Break (2006) and the part of Rob Schneider's receptionist Maria in Big Stan (2007). She hosts "The Daily Nut" and the "Formula D" Podcasts on G4.
