Brian Yang doesn’t (want to) know martial arts

from Modern Minorities · host W!ZARD Studios

“Waiter, servant, martial artist. Why aren't more Asian-Americans in Hollywood fully-realized characters - just part of the fabric of America?”Brian Yang is an actor and producer committed to telling stories that reflect the underrepresented. But Brian’s path to Hollywood wasn’t the usual one. A west coast kid, he found himself on the east coast working on startups with a young entrepreneur named Andrew Yang (no relation), whose presidential campaign he would later work on. In the mid 2000s, Brian helped launch an urban basketball league, and soon began to document the rise of a young basketball player named Jeremy Lin - producing the documentary LINSANITY, which premiered at Sundance. Brian’s also produced films like Late Life, Another Shot, I Can I Will I Did, and Snakehead (starring Sung Kang, premiering in October). Brian’s film-acting credits include Saving Face, The Jade Pendant, and the recent Disney+ short film The Little Prince(ss). His TV-acting credits include The Path, Westworld, Blacklist, Shanghai Rush, and Hawaii 5-0. And along the way Brian co-founded Giant Leap Media - a TV & Film development accelerator with a focus on Asian/Pacific American writers & stories. But most importantly? Brian may just be the world’s #1 (Asian) Hall & Oates fan, which Sharon knew about before Raman did...LEARN ABOUT BRIAN imdb.com/name/nm0990657 @briflys - Twitter / Instagram giantleapaccelerator.com MENTIONS BAND: Hall & Oates - allmusic.com/artist/daryl-hall-john-oates-mn0000674887 BOOK: Interior Chinatown: goodreads.com/book/show/44436221-interior-chinatown PERSON: Lizette A.
