Osric Chau : When The World Tells You No.

from Reppin · host Evelien Kong

🔥 “I didn’t want to change myself—I wanted to change the world around me.” That one of the many amazing insights from Osric Chau. In this powerful, deeply personal, and transformative episode of Reppin, I sit down with actor, producer, and changemaker Osric Chau—you know him from Supernatural, Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, and most recently, the history-making “Worth the Wait” on Tubi. But this conversation is different. For the first time ever, I share something I’ve never said out loud—how I struggled with my own identity, how I once wanted a nose job to “look more white,” and how hearing Osric's story helped me finally understand the depth of what representation really means—for all of us. 💥 WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: 🎯 The Real Cost of Representation: Why not seeing yourself reflected in media isn’t just disappointing—it’s damaging. Osric and I unpack how these absences shaped our self-worth and cultural understanding. 🎯 The Fearless Mindset: How Osric made the bold decision to take a one-way flight to the Philippines—no budget, no backup plan, just a script and relentless faith. (Spoiler: it changed his life—and career.) 🎯 Lessons on Resilience, Identity & Grit: From navigating Hollywood as “one of the very few Asian guys” to becoming someone others now look up to, Osric opens up about leadership, legacy, and trusting his future self—even when the odds are stacked. 🎯 Soft Power, Real Impact: Representation isn’t just about being seen. It’s about shaping perception, shifting culture, and reclaiming the narrative. Osric breaks down how normalizing our stories rewires what the world thinks is beautiful, capable, and powerful. 🎯 Exclusive Insight Into “Worth The Wait”: Osric dishes on his new groundbreaking rom-dram anthology on Tubi—the platform’s first-ever original Asian-American film with an all-star cast (Ross Butler, Lana Condor, Andrew Koji). Spoiler: it’s changing the game. 🧠 WHY YOU SHOULD LISTEN: This is more than an interview—it’s a mirror. Whether you’ve struggled with identity, want to blaze your own path, or just need a reminder that your voice matters—this episode is for you. You’ll walk away feeling seen, heard, and empowered.
