Jennifer Tong as Rebecca Li in Netflix's Fakes

DC's Legends of Tomorrow's Jennifer Tong will play Rebecca "Becca" Li on Netflix's upcoming comedy-drama series Fakes, which is set to premiere on Friday, September 2, 2022, at 3:00 a.m. ET.

Tong will co-star with Emilija Baranac from To All the Boys I've Loved Before and Richard Harmon from The 100.

Fakes follows the turbulent lives of two high school students who unintentionally create one of North America's largest fake ID businesses. The criminal dramedy is a brand-new offering from CBC Gem and Netflix.

Zoe Christensen (Baranac), and Rebecca Li (Tong), two childhood friends, expand their businesses and amass more wealth than they can imagine (because who doesn't need a fake ID, right?). Their good fortune, however, comes to an end when the feds finally bring them down.

This article will discuss Jennifer Tong and her character Becca Li ahead of Fakes premiere on Netflix.

Exploring Jennifer Tong's character on Netflix's Fakes

Jennifer Tong's upcoming role in the Netflix comedy-drama will be one of the most important because her character Rebecca Li is one of the main characters. The show's official synopsis reads:

"FAKES is the story of two best friends who accidentally build one of the largest fake ID empires in North America. They move into a downtown penthouse, have more cash than they know what to do with, and then get raided by the feds. One of them goes to jail, the other doesn’t."

Tong told Bustle that the new show is "equal parts comedy and drama, heartwarming and heartbreaking, and just a whole lot of fun." She said:

"What audiences can expect and get excited for is for sh*t to get f*cked."

The DC's Legends of Tomorrow star also talked about how the show's portrayal of Rebecca's Asian ethnicity sets the character apart from others. She added.

"It’s not about her being Asian. She rebels against the typical stereotypes that are pushed onto Chinese women and is a fully-fleshed out character with unbelievable charms and fatal flaws."
