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.
Steven YeunI was a psych major in college and I actually owned two white lab rats. I had to train them and I took them home so that's just kind of missing for me.
Steven YeunIโm stupidly curious. I will go and touch anything until I find out that itโs very harmful.
Steven YeunI'm glad that people have responded well to it, so far. I'm thankful for that. But, I'm also excited now that I have a better grasp of this character than I did before. I want to take it even further and really explore who Glenn is.
Steven YeunI 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.
Steven YeunI'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.
Steven YeunHaving read the source material, I had to have drawn from that. As a fan, I wanted to remain true to that character, but it was really cool because, as we were figuring these characters out, I realized that there was a lot more backstory, rather than what I had gotten just from reading the book. Glenn doesn't really get much of a backstory there. He's just seen as this kid who is put in this situation, not knowing where his mind-set is, but then you slowly see him start to develop.
