đ„ âI didnât want to change myselfâI wanted to change the world around me.â
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 Chauâyou know him from Supernatural, Netflixâs Avatar: The Last Airbender, and most recently, the history-making âWorth the Waitâ on Tubi.
But this conversation is different.
For the first time ever, I share something Iâve never said out loudâhow I struggled with my own identity, how I once wanted a nose job to âlook more white,â and how hearing Osric's story helped me finally understand the depth of what representation really meansâfor all of us.
đ„ WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE:
đŻ The Real Cost of Representation:
Why not seeing yourself reflected in media isnât just disappointingâitâs damaging. Osric and I unpack how these absences shaped our self-worth and cultural understanding.
đŻ The Fearless Mindset:
How Osric made the bold decision to take a one-way flight to the Philippinesâno budget, no backup plan, just a script and relentless faith. (Spoiler: it changed his lifeâand career.)
đŻ Lessons on Resilience, Identity & Grit:
From navigating Hollywood as âone of the very few Asian guysâ to becoming someone others now look up to, Osric opens up about leadership, legacy, and trusting his future selfâeven when the odds are stacked.
đŻ Soft Power, Real Impact:
Representation isnât just about being seen. Itâs 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.
đŻ Exclusive Insight Into âWorth The Waitâ:
Osric dishes on his new groundbreaking rom-dram anthology on Tubiâthe platformâs first-ever original Asian-American film with an all-star cast (Ross Butler, Lana Condor, Andrew Koji). Spoiler: itâs changing the game.
đ§ WHY YOU SHOULD LISTEN:
