There's a show on Comedy Central that I love called 'Nathan for You,' which is kind of a reality show, almost a prank show, where this guy Nathan Fielder goes around helping struggling businesses. He's so hilarious and so awkward.
The most common things I would go out for would be, like, 'the Lab Technician' on a crime procedural, usually an expert in either a medical or a computer-oriented field.
If a casting breakdown said 'All-American Type' or 'Lead Role,' I knew they weren't thinking of me.
There are a lot of communities within the Asian Pacific Islander umbrella that are predominantly more working-class or lower class, and those stories haven't been told yet, so my hope is that we see the gamut of perspectives.
My father was a small business owner. When I was growing up, he ran a one-hour photo store - back when there were one-hour photo stores.
I always feel that comedy, at its best, tackles issues that are controversial, polarizing, volatile, and sheds light onto those issues and the people involved.
I majored in English with a specialization in creative writing along with Asian American Studies.
I am obsessed with rap music - it's such a big part of my life.
