SAG-AFTRA has named its Ambassador for the 2026 Actor Awards, and it’s one of Australia’s brightest stars.
On Friday, it was confirmed that Sydney-born Yerin Ha has scored the gig fresh off the release of “Bridgerton” season 4.
The awards will air live on March 2 from 12pm in Australia. The star will be sharing behind-the-scenes content and participating in multiple pre-show events.
“Being named The Actor Awards Ambassador is such an honour because this ceremony is about actors celebrating actors,” Ha said. “There is something uniquely powerful about being recognised within your own community. As someone who cares so deeply about the craft and about collaboration, it means so much to represent the next generation of actors and be part of an event that uplifts storytelling.”
Ha follows in the footsteps of previous SAG-AFTRA Ambassadors such as Sofia Carson, Haley Lu Richardson, Antonia Gentry and Alexandra Daddario.
The “Bridgerton” star was most recently seen at Gold House’s Lunar New Year party, where she opened up to People about East-Asian representation on screen. “It’s been really, really amazing and beautiful. I mean, I’ve been really caught up with the [Bridgerton] press tour, so I don’t think I’ve been too [online], Ha said. “It has been really positive and I just feel so proud that I get to be the face of that and keep advocating for change, and knowing that we deserve these roles and spaces.”
Bridgerton Season 4 Part 2 will be released on February 26 at 7pm AEDT.
