"The most important thing is, you got to give the people what they want,

even if it kills you,

even if it empties you out until there's nothing left to empty.

No matter what happens, no matter how much it hurts,

you don't stop dancing,

and you don't stop smiling,

and you give those people what they want."

- BoJack Horseman

How did you get into acting? Was it something you've always wanted to do?

My mother forced me to become an actor when I was seven, and then refused to let me quit, even though I literally begged her to stop making me work. She used and exploited me to get things she wanted for herself.

I sincerely believed acting was something I wanted to do, because my mother manipulated and gaslighted me my entire childhood. I was completely brainwashed. By the time I was old enough to realize that not only was it not my idea, but that I didn't have to be an actor any more if I didn't want to, I was terrified I would be the huge failure my abusive father always made me believe I was, so I kept trying to be an actor well into my 30s.

In my 40s, I decided to retire from acting on-camera, and use what I'd learned over the years to work as a voice actor, audiobook narrator, and writer. I'm a New York Times bestselling author! And number on audiobook narrator!

I just turned 50 in July. I'm still doing the performing and entertaining work I'm pretty good at, but I'm only doing it on my terms. My favorite thing I'm doing right now is hosting The Ready Room, the official online destination for all things Star Trek universe.

I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life. I'm truly thriving. I've been married for almost 24 years, I have two wonderful children and a daughter-in-law I love like my own. It's a really good life, but I'm not going to lie: I had to crawl through a LOT of shit to get here.

why is he staring into my soul

This kid was amazing in Wonderfools. Seo Woo Jin.

He didnt have the biggest part throughout the show but *imo* his character played probably the biggest role. Namely in what drove the story (the reason for the experiments and the literal heart 🫀 of the story) and one of the main traumas of Cha Eun Woos character. With a character this impactful and the fact its a child as well they struck gold with SWJ. This kid really made me want to reach through the screen and just protect him. Amazing performance for someone so young. Reminds me of Carl Snell from Roar 1997 ⬇️

Again not a huge part in the show itself but the role he played was far reaching and the scenes he WAS in? He played it perfectly. One of those roles where the character feels older and more ?otherworldly or 'knowing' than they are because of the circumstances they find themselves in. Great series btw and highly recommended if you can find it anywhere
