Maybe it was just me shorting myself to hedge my expectations. As a fan, I was excited about the project. If you look at the body of work for the people involved, I was excited about the project, but I didn't really know. There were people saying, "I think we're going to be part of something huge."

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 was raised in a Christian household and heard a lot of praise music, so that's what helps me get to an emotional place.

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.

There's no drama. There's nothing. Everyone is there to work, everyone is really kind and everyone is very helpful, especially to me. I went in there, hoping to learn. I could have easily been put on some project with somebody who really doesn't care about teaching or sharing. But, while I was there, all of the cast were very helpful. I would constantly ask questions.

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.

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