Jake Choi

Jake Choi is a Korean‑American actor who identifies as queer and has been outspoken about rejecting rigid labels around sexuality and masculinity. He publicly came out in 2018, describing his identity as fluid and rooted in a broader understanding of queerness shaped by his upbringing and community. Choi broke out as Miggy, a young, bisexual‑coded single dad on ABC’s Single Parents, and has since become known for roles that foreground Asian‑American and LGBTQ+ narratives, including Front Cover, The Sun Is Also a Star, and East of La Brea. He has been a vocal critic of Hollywood’s narrow expectations for Asian men, speaking about how queerness helped him unlearn toxic masculinity and embrace vulnerability in his work. Choi’s combination of activism, candor, and boundary‑pushing roles has made him a key figure in contemporary queer Asian‑American representation.
