会話していただいでめっちゃ光栄でした！ヒデさんから色々教えてもらいました。

Hide san of The Office fame went out of his way to pay me a visit in Burbank. I grew up with the Office in Connecticut so I was so excited. I used my mediocre Japanese to interview him 😂  He gave me amazing advice both for life and entertainment career wise. His experiences working with BJ Novak, Craig Robinson and others were incredible. 

Hide san is a bundle of amazing energy and positivity. He told me that people like Jackie Chan are loved is not just because of acting skills but the gentle love these charismatic actors show through their smiles that reminds of our shared humanity. And it is important to experience living normal lives outside of Hollywood culture to really convey that authentic connection with people even in acting or comedy. He wants the future of Asians in entertainment to challenge what has come before on how Asians are portrayed in media. He told me that no matter how painful the world is in comedy and you wanna cry and you might wanna be suffering but once you are on stage, you have to change your mindset to joy and happiness so that you can share that joy with others and become professional. Pure wisdom!

Hide san arigatou gozaimashita.
