keeping-secrets people serious
I'm good at keeping secrets, but if it's not something super serious I usually tell people not to tell me because I'll tell someone else.
parent generations four
I'm Korean-American. Not Colombian. My parents are first-generation, and I'm like in-between, because I moved over here when I was four or five.
nice people actors
If you ask any of the other actors, they'd probably say nice things because they're nice people, but I was always like, "Oh gosh, I hope I'm doing this right." I was very hard on myself, and I continue to be. That's why it's sometimes hard for me to digest watching myself on television. There is some pressure.
nice blessing play
To be honest, at that point, just being so fresh to L.A., I was in the mind-set of just getting work, at all costs. But, if you take a step back from it, it's just such a blessing to be able to play somebody like Glenn. Me being Asian American, it's nice to have something to play that's not so very stereotypical. It's also nice to have somebody that I identify with.
