This is a clip from #InteriorChinatown where I got to play a character named Betty (It’sAllAboutMe) Chan. Not gonna lie, it’s fun to play a B*tch because it’s so opposite of what I tend to put out in the world IRL. So thank you, Charles Yu, for creating Betty, and giving me the opportunity to let my b*tch flag fly! Directed by the amazing #johnlee Stream all episodes on @hulu

Especially during these crazy times, it’s important to find things that bring you joy. For me that’s spending time with my family and friends, acting, dance class with the amazing @frankdwawil ,walking my dogs, seeing great theater and films, listening to music, drinking tea, and shopping. (a little embarrassed by that last one, but it’s fun!) What are some of the things that bring you joy? Let me know in the comments! ❤️❤️❤️ #dance #joy
What an absolute blast at the premiere of @interiorchinatownhulu last night. I loved working on this series which comes out this Tuesday , November 19th on @Hulu. It’s fresh, fun, creative, fast moving, and like nothing you’ve seen before! Directed by the amazing @taikawaititi The chemistry between @ronnychieng and @jimmyoyang is so uplifting, (they’re close buddies IRL) I said to myself, “I could watch them for hours.” Plus this series and the book it was created from (by Charles Yu) is so wonderful for the Asian community, and for anyone who has felt unseen, and marginalized in their lives. Most diverse cast and crew ever. ❤️👏 I first appear in episode 3, try to catch the series if you can, all episodes are out on Tuesday so you can binge it! ❤️❤️🙏🙏 Cast photo by @sthanlee

When I was young, I adored Terri Garr and Gene Wilder in “Young Frankenstein”. It was my favorite movie, I must’ve seen it 25 times. (I can’t understand why my kids don’t think it’s that funny—generational?) I felt so incredibly lucky to have worked with them both—with Terri in Good and Evil in 1991, and with Gene in See no Evil, Hear no Evil in 1989. They were both as kind as they were were brilliant and will be very much missed. 💔💔 #rip #terrigarr #genewilder #legend
