Actor or a Commodity?

2011-05-11T15:43:00.000-07:00

I practice what he preaches.I met him in a tiny little acting studio on Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade more than a decade ago. It was in this darkly lit, crammed, second story, office space/studio conversion that my love affair with acting teacher Larry Moss began. He is not a household name but his work spans

Race relations: Fast Five and LA Asian Pacific Film Festival

2011-04-29T19:16:00.000-07:00

I attended the opening night film of Fast and Furious 5 last at the Los Angeles Pacific Film Festival. Hosts Danny Pudi and Parvesh Cheena give James Franco and Anne Hathaway a run for their money.

You probably don't know this about me, but sometimes when I watch a good film, I just burst into tears. I'm a combustible mess. It's ridiculous! I cry at weird things, like at the end of Terminator 2 when Arnold is getting dunked into the vat of acid. Hard core, man. He went in feet first and then his thumbs up hands were the last to go. Heartbreaking. Well, I let out a guttural sob

I've been diligently working on MADE IN TAIWAN. People who've known me for a long time often ask me why have I worked on this show for so long. Well, I don't really have an answer for you.
