The erotic Ellen Tamaki may be from Brooklyn, New York but studied at both the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art as well as Boston University after high school. Going to those prestigious but pricey schools likely meant that Ellen is not unfamiliar with the world of student loans, so although she started as a stage actress, it seems rather fitting Miss Tamaki made her screen debut in Searching for Sallie Mae (2015). Just three years and a couple of unheralded films later and Ellen would hit the big time, landing the recurring role of Detective Niko Hamada on the Charmed reboot. In that one, Ellen shares a spellbinding sensual smooch with the mesmerizing Melonie Diaz. We even get a second scene where the two beautiful babes have a magical make out session! We were absolutely charmed by this lovely lesbian encounter, although Ellen’s character mysteriously disappeared soon after and hasn’t been seen since. Once Ellen was done bewitching the supernatural crowd, the Asian fox headed straight to the mystery box with her role as NYPD officer Drea Mikami on the very LOST-like TV show Manifest. It’s a show about an airplane that lands, only to find out that to the outside world it’s been over five years since the flight took off and that everyone on the ground has moved on with their lives. Once cancelled at NBC, the show found a second life on Netflix and is scheduled to not to mysteriously return to TV for another season. Ellen Tamaki may not be getting naked on Manifest, but with a body like hers, we think it’s her destiny.
