Welcome to Season 5, Episode 22! It’s a 2-for-1 episode! Today we have a two of the stars of the re-imagination of The Wedding Banquet, Bobo Le and Jeremy Hoffman. This modernized version of the Ang Lee’s classic film is written and directed by Andrew Ahn.
Bobo and Jeremy both come from creative backgrounds. Bobo in dance and martial arts, and Jeremy in music and musical theatre. But lucky for audiences, they’ve transferred some of that creativity to the screen. In the Wedding Banquet, Bobo plays Kendall, the cousin of Bowen Yang’s character. Jeremy plays Marshall the executive director of an LGBTQIA+ non-profit.
This is a fun conversation in large part because of the synergy between Bobo and Jeremy. To get more of Bobo and Jeremy, you can follow them on Instagram @bobojle and @therealjerhoffman.
