Miku Martineau Talks 'Crew Girl,' 'Bet' Season 2 and Japanese Representation

21-year-old Japanese-Canadian actress Miku Martineau joins us to talk about her two very different Netflix worlds: returning as Yumeko in Season 2 of ‘Bet’ and starring as Teagan in ‘Crew Girl.’ She breaks down how she approached a character with existing manga lore versus building Teagan from the ground up, the surprising similarities between the two, going blonde for ‘Crew Girl,’ learning to row, doing her own stunts and what her gymnastics and Muay Thai background brings to the job. Plus, she teases ‘Bet’ Season 2 — which wrapped filming this summer — working with Saweetie, dives into the Yumekira fandom and weighs in on the messy Teagan-Josh-Cam love triangle.

Miku also takes us back to growing up in Toronto, her parents’ restaurant, getting a scholarship to study film and TV acting in New York at 12 and landing an agent at 13 — despite once being told her braces would stop her from getting roles. We talk Japanese-Canadian representation, K-pop dance classes, hockey, volleyball, cast friendships, and her cat Brick. Would she date another actor? You’ll have to watch to find out. Oh, and she clears up one persistent internet rumor: her dad does not work as a voice director. Dang Wiki.
