Today in the studio, Jason has the privilege of interviewing young actor, martial artist, and dumpling enthusiast, Brandon Soo Hoo. After acting in a Toys-R-Us commercial, Brandon caught his big break at just 11 years old, starring in the mega-hit film, Tropic Thunder. He shares what it was like to play the iconic role of Tran, the contentious young cartel leader, and spend months living in Kauai acting and sparring alongside comedy legends Ben Stiller and Jack Black. He also tells tales from his crazy life journey involving opulent royal weddings in Cambodia, a new anime series on Netflix, and an exciting and unexpected new overseas venture. Tune in as Jason and Brandon play a rousing game of New Phone, Who Dis, and hear all about how Brandon harnesses and embraces his eccentricities, including his deep-rooted fascination with Cantonese cuisine, reptiles, insects, and the mantis shrimp.  Learn more about your ad choices.
