Kelsey Asbille Chow (born September 9, 1991) is an American actress.[1] She has played Mikayla in the Disney XD sitcom Pair of Kings, and Monica Long in the Paramount Network western drama series Yellowstone. From 2005 to 2009, she had a recurring role as Gigi Silveri on the drama One Tree Hill. She portrayed Tracy Stewart in MTV's Teen Wolf from 2015 to 2016.

For all of her screen credits up through 2017, she is listed as Kelsey Chow. For her roles since that year, such as for Wind River, Yellowstone, and Fargo, in which she plays characters of Native American descent, she is credited as Kelsey Asbille.[2]

Early life

[edit]

Asbille's father is Jim C. Chow. He served for more than 30 years in the United States Air Force and Air National Guard achieving the rank of Brigadier General.[3] Asbille has a brother who is three years her junior and a sister who is eight years younger.

In 2017 and 2018, when she was cast in Native American roles, Chow stated in multiple interviews she was "part Cherokee"[4] and that she had "Native heritage".[5] She told The New York Times that she was of "Eastern Band Cherokee descent" and that playing an Indigenous woman was "in [her] blood".[6] In response to her casting, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians issued a statement stating that Chow was not an enrolled member and that the tribe had no documentation supporting her claim that she was descended from the band.[2]

Chow attended Hammond School for high school, in Columbia, South Carolina. She is based in Los Angeles,[7] but also lives part-time in New York City[7][8] where she attended Columbia University as a Human Rights major.[9][10][4][11]

In 2012, Chow had a small part in The Amazing Spider-Man,[15] and was later cast in the feature film Run.[16]

In 2014, she was cast in the Fox drama Hieroglyph.[17] However, the series was cancelled before it premiered.[18]
