Giselle Anne Töngi-Walters (born June 14, 1978) is a Filipino actress.
Töngi was born on June 14, 1978, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France to a Swiss father, Erich, and Filipina mother, Aurora.[1] She has four siblings namely: Avie, Tony, John and Sharon. She was raised by her mother in New York and moved to Manila at age 15.[2]
Töngi studied at the Lee Strasberg School of Acting in New York City. She obtained a bachelor's degree in communication studies from the University of California, Los Angeles and a master's degree in nonprofit management from Antioch University.[3]
Töngi was 5 when she was discovered by an agent at a mall. She was then launched as a member of the pioneer batch of Star Circle (now Star Magic). In the early 2000s, she left a thriving acting career in the Philippines to try her luck in Hollywood. She landed a role in Saved by the Bell: The Musical and in 2004 in the stage play Days When Cocaine Was King. She played a planted fan to the contestants during a challenge in America's Next Top Model, Cycle 16, which can be seen in Episode 9 of the said Cycle.
In 2014, Töngi replaced Jannelle So as host and producer of Kababayan Today, which airs on KSCI (LA-18).
Töngi married bartender Tim Walters in a beach wedding in Boracay on February 19, 2005. Together they have two children, Kenobi Benjamin and Alecks.[4]
