Chinese actress Gong Li is making her way in Hollywood since starring in Steven Spielberg's "Memoirs of A Geisha". 

She has signed up to play a major role in "Miami Vice", a Hollywood film based on the classic 1980s television series of the same name.

While Gong was making Memoirs in Hollywood, she came to the attention of crime film director Michael Mann, the creator of Miami Vice. Gong will co-star with Collin Farrell and Jamie Foxx, who won the Best Actor Oscar this year.

Gong said the scripts she considers are all from Hollywood and she does not have time for any domestic ones.

Following Miami Vice, Gong will play a role in the fourth sequel to the Hollywood thriller Silence of the Lambs. Gong's agent says many Western audiences were familiar with Gong and that she was ideal for the role.

A short time ago, Gong said she had signed with ICM, the U.S. talent and literary agency working with big names such as Mel Gibson and Judie Foster. Gong also said she hoped she make an appearance at the Oscars next year.
