drama blessing littles
I've always loved drama. This is a blessing because I can show a little bit of what I can do, and hopefully more, in the future.
opportunity walking-dead different
Somehow, I landed The Walking Dead and it's great because it stretches and works different muscles for me, and it really lets me stretch myself as a performer. Now, I'm really excited to flex my comedy muscle. Hopefully, I'll get some opportunities to do that.
book thinking people
I think there are fans who love the genre to begin with, and there are fans who love the comic book to begin with, but fans of the comic book aren't necessarily fans of the genre. There are obviously a lot of those people who love both, but I'm not a huge fan of that genre, personally.
drama want reason-why
I want to stretch myself. Another reason why I'm so fortunate is that this is a drama and I've been brought up in comedy.
jobs chicago scene
If you work in Chicago in the improv scene, anyone is happy for you if you get a job.
school doctors parent
Well, my parents originally wanted me to become a doctor - that's why I was in school; I was pre-med, and I graduated with a degree in psychology and a concentration in neuroscience. Really, the plan was for me to go to med school.
basketball football brother
I grew up in Michigan, so I played hockey, football and basketball. I played a little bit of lacrosse, too. My brother played more lacrosse and ran track.
honesty real people
I like documentaries because there's nothing to nitpick or criticize about scenes if they aren't just right. It's about honesty and real-life circumstances coming out. Granted it can be swayed by how people tell that story, but overall, I like it because it is true.
college years parent
I felt like I've needed to ask my parents up until about four years ago about everything. They have helped me tremendously, I came out of college with no debt. Everything they made, they just poured into my education.
college fans detroit
I am a huge Pistons fan. Those were some of my best times in college, watching the Detroit Pistons.
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.
character guy scary
Yeah, it's scary. During filming, it wasn't just jitters from being the newer guy there or the greenest guy there. It was also fear of not messing up such an important character.
running yelling boxing
I took up boxing to get in shape for filming because it's grueling - all the running, the heat, the yelling, the crying that we do.
christian emotional helping
I was raised in a Christian household and heard a lot of praise music, so that's what helps me get to an emotional place.
