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.

The book is about zombies, in that it is the over-arching theme, but what's going on is the story of these people and how these survivors deal. I think that's so much more of an interesting story, and that's what really gets and hooks these readers into the book and the show. It's a mix of fans of drama, fans of AMC, fans of horror and fans of Frank [Darabont]. It's a lot of people just coming together and realizing a genre doesn't have to be fixed in one specific detail.

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.

Many people, not just Asians, are more concerned with hustling and getting to meetings with contacts to gain success.

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.

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.

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.
