Awkwafina is best known for starring in 'The Farewell,' 'Crazy Rich Asians,' and 'Ocean's 8.' She plays Scuttle in the new live action adaptation of 'The Little Mermaid.'

'The Little Mermaid' also stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Melissa McCarthy as her evil aunt Ursula, Javier Bardem as her father King Triton, Daveed Diggs as Sebastian, and Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric.
