“Actor, not actress,” says Jojo Goh candidly as I ask about her preferred job title. Clearly, she is a fierce believer of gender equality. “Do you know they are starting to ditch the gender-specific term in Hollywood?” she asserts. Just when I thought I had her all figured out, Goh continues to surprise me with her expansive knowledge of the entertainment industry as we chat over a cup of coffee at Kings Hall cafe, a hidden gem in the bustling commercial hub of Petaling Jaya.

Goh recently starred in a Netflix original series entitled T e Ghost Bride; a period drama set in 1890s colonial Malacca. I could not stop fangirling over her performance as Lim Yan Hong in the show, to which she humbly replies, “Thank you very much, I am so flattered,” before continuing, “I had such a blast working on this Netflix series. It was made even better with the amazing cast and not to mention being co-directed by two very talented Malaysians [Quek Shio Chuan and Ho Yuhang].”
