Gina Hiraizumi recurs on Season 3 of the hit HBO Max series, Doom Patrol (2019). An adaptation of the DC Universe series, she brings to life "The Quiz," a passionate, fearless enigma that viewers are alternately introduced to as the Japanese speaking "Sachiko."

Doom Patrol (2019) Writer/Producer, Shoshana Sachi quotes: "I remember seeing her audition and being so captivated. Every subtle shift in her emotion is played with such careful deliberation. She embodied 'The Quiz' so wonderfully and made my words so much more special and nuanced - speaking them like the contemplative artist, The Quiz is."
On the season premiere of Dynasty (2017) on The CW, Hiraizumi plays the wealthy and sophisticated, "Barbara." Inside the upscale atmosphere of the Carrington Manor, playing a Venture Capitalist businesswoman came a natural fit - her real life ancestry stems from all entrepreneurs and business professionals.
