from Reppin · host Evelien Kong
chris pang. one of the faces proving hollywood wrong about asian actors. chris pang — charlie's angels, joyride, crazy rich asians, and now hulu's the season, set against the stunning backdrop of hong kong high society, where mystery and drama follow every relationship in the room. chris plays andrew fong, a man who's tough to like at first. but take a second longer look and you see how fully human he is — flawed, insecure, and wanting nothing more than to be loved. but the real conversation starts long before any of these roles. chris grew up not seeing anyone who looked like him on screen — no hero, no proof it was even possible. so he went looking somewhere else. what he found changed the entire trajectory of his life, long before any casting director ever did. that search is what eventually put him in rooms most people never get close to — playing parts that didn't exist for guys like him a decade ago. he gets honest about what it actually cost to get there, and what's still stacked against him. and then there's the one project that did something he never expected — changed how an entire room watched a screen, strangers and family alike, all at once. this is a conversation about being underestimated, about building the thing nobody hands you, and about what happens the moment you stop waiting for permission.
