I Googled "annoying nerdy asian actress"
And the top 2 results were her. A couple other results lower down on the first page contained references to her also.
I was watching Good Girls and she showed up. I'd seen her in other things before but I forgot her name. Or likely never knew it to begin with, and instead of checking the cast list I took a chance, not expecting Google to be helpful.
Usually I'll have a vague memory of something and type in a few keywords or phrases and have none of the results on the first bunch of pages be what I'm looking for.
