3:22 in cerritos and then i would do people would see me on tv i remember someone like saw me at wonder years and i was like oh that's cool and then we moved to paramount was like the hood yeah crushing over there too and then i did a hook but then we got busted shoplifting in cerritos mall after hook as an actor in the middle of shooting hook oh no we got hella in trouble because you almost destroyed the movie no we got got but then my parents like came down as hard as during christmas i was stealing like isotonic gloves and ████ so while you were being like a lost boy on hook you was little you were a lost boy at least you had a bad boy character in the movie right he's kind of like then we got bus to orange county high school the arts was that lost out and so by the time hook came out i was like a new kid in school at up there so i was like kind of new i mean but were you were you a popular kid
4:12 i was probably i met my brother so we didn't really care too much about popularity but we were like with each other but then all my homies like all my homies from paramount were like doug if you were here when your movie came out you would have been just slaying and i'm like but i'm in lost sound orange count a bunch of girls with birkenstocks on right now and they're just they're just trying to trip on like i'm wearing baggy jeans they would make fun of you for that no no it was cool it was cool it would just take like it took a while to like kind of like you know it's a different style different style you went from school that's like 99 like mexican and black to like school that was like 99 white like literally there was like 13 black kids in the whole school we were like damn this is crazy during your acting time i'm gonna turn up the temperatures a little bit uh you know there's always like

13:26 then no she said she actually we we're in the table re-right we're in the table read well you guys are reading together so before before you shoot the show on monday you should show on friday on monday the whole cast gets together and they table read and so you just do it like like and so she's sitting next to me i'm like damn and then she she goes over to me because we're both guest starring on the show and she's like aren't you isn't it doesn't it make you trip out like it feels like we're like you know like we're the guests on the show everyone knows each other no like we don't even know anybody and i'm like talk i'm like yeah like you're vibing with it like damn we're both in this new experience together in the back of my mind i'm like damn i said i remember you a playboy very vividly [Laughter] hey worst movie you ever a part of worst yeah oh that's a good question oh great there's a movie that you can't find i can't find it bet you all fine no no
14:18 i'll bet you you've finally seen it i've never seen it it's called sinbad in the dark knights or something like that richard grieco played sinbad richard grieco played sinbad yes and i played his sidekick like the prince of china i got like a turban i got a sword and ████ we shot in jordan and like ████ i don't know bulgaria or something and i mean dean stock was in the movies people in the movie but it's like we're running around i don't even ████ know i heard it's horrible i don't remember i barely remember you didn't go to the screening or nothing nah i got that screen you were the king of china bro i was a prince of china my bad prince of china
15:08 kick on booker his side his his show the spinoff i was a sidekick ping pong that's called ping pong your name was your name was ping pong oh my god back in the day what year was this this is ████ 90 1990 races can you guys call me ping-pong you look like a ping pong can you guys go can i just be pink they call me pink he was like pink that's so good you do look like a ping pong okay what's the most racist thing you've experienced like on set other than being named ping pong with a turban as prince of china no no prince of china prince of china is another one but then booker while i was ping-pong what's the most racist thing you've experienced racist being called people be called ping-pong offset now thinking back ping pong seemed real racist in a way but it wasn't because i
15:58 wasn't playing a street kid oh cause i was always if they hired me to play asian role i was never the type of asian right that anyone was one so it was always like yeah he was john usually i was like not john johnstop jones doug jones but like i wasn't like whatever i was like a hip-hop asian kid so they're always like oh you're like how do i make sense of you is what they were doing he goes you don't you don't look like a guy that delivers chinese food to me so i don't know what the ████ to do to it what are you well they didn't even know what kind of asian i was they didn't know what a filipino probably asked like that what kind of asian are you always they're like no they don't even like they what are you they're like what is your category and at the time a lot of filipino actors were playing chinese right you know not mexican half my ████ growing up was latino and half of it was asian so i basically had this thing i was like what's the role
16:48 they're like it's chinese and i go well my grandma on my dad's side she's like part chinese or asian like oh yeah that makes sense and then like i get the wrong and they'd be like damn it's just really like mexican i'm like beautiful you know we're like latino like we're we we got colonized we're like the latinos we grew up in paramount oh you guys are like basically mexicans like yeah the same same kind of stuff and who's the most ████ co-star you have worked with did you say that you can't be talking about let me see well you're in the hot seat everyone knows what the hot seat is whatever you say doesn't matter all the time yeah well i can't i can't change your name yeah what does it rhyme with ████ okay uh how about this how is
17:38 this your how is this your favorite co-star my favorite without the winking without the winking who's the favorite co-star you never want to work with again i mean i i know some some people like you know the big stars are really cool the big stars are like always they're always cool because they're like they don't give a ████ they're like big stars when smaller actors come in and they just be doing too much like my steel lines what's an example of something they would do slash their names full name no i don't even remember their name and he's not a bad person i don't know if i can so i come to set one time he's like and we're about to do the scene and this dude's like going around doing ████ i'm like what are you doing he's like i just don't know what animal i'm gonna be today that's the animal my dude's like i come from a tiger
18:29 i'm like what the ████ and then he's like what the ████ and i just got back from the philippines and then we're trying to shoot this scene he wants to tussle can we just improv the fight scene like oh my god no no we can't improv no ████ fights scene you're ████ crazy that doesn't even make sense in the script yelling at me ████ wrong lines i'm like this dude's ████ while on the phone he's a tiger today and he's on some ████ is he still an active actor yeah i mean i guess it's just his style maybe just wasn't it wasn't flowing with my style at least not that day and i definitely did not want to improv my goddamn toughness when you when you were doing a hook did anybody else screen test for rufio a gang of people did a gang of people do originally i heard i met another actor that said he had got the role before i did how many of them killed themselves after they didn't get them i don't know that's crazy so someone else got the role before you and then
19:19 they they're like sorry dante's better no supposedly but who knows kid actors you know you're around the same circuit people tell you stories all the time and it's one of those kids one of the kids that worked all the time he was like robocop and he was he was like oh you know i got that role he's the bad kid yeah yeah ryan knows everything he was um i know you're like a cena i followed your career bro but that kid with that kid was like i remember him i haven't seen him in years but as kid actors he was kind of strange like we were like young like 13 14 he would show like no shirt on like with like a jacket like being crazy like who is this kid and we're like 14 him and his sister had like a weird he was intense little dude the thing about kid actors is we would all there's a one dentist office in in in hollywood that we all go to how come because he had specialized these things
20:10 called flippers where when you lose your teeth you um they put fake teeth pop it in for kids oh cause all kids be ████ losing teeth and then before invisalign he had another thing they created that was braces that you don't have to keep in you can take your braces out so when you're working you take one wow braces yeah so we all like when you go there you literally like every actor for the last 40 years is in that place so we all running to each other at dr smith i'm gonna ask you a real hot question right now okay real hot one on some serious on some serious ████ you're a kid actor anybody in the industry ever like put you in an uncomfortable situation or take advantage of you like that well you can't get through this industry without like an e true hollywood story you know what i'm saying like especially i've been a
21:00 game 35 years and i started as a kid thank god i haven't had the worst of it but i've been around darkness and it was in the darkness and did the darkness touch you it didn't touch me but it touched the family member oh and it was horrible it's not good damn and it was um it's one of the things that you go like i almost wrote in my book but i'm like it's not really my story to tell even though it's very much affected by it but it's like real ████ happens man do you go like is this industry worth it because not only does it that is like is somewhere my fame and whatever i'm doing did that help cause that oh ████ you know what i'm saying has has any concept of justice come around for that particular situation i mean
21:50 yeah i mean people i mean it's been years ago so people people went to jail people have passed on now i mean it's very so there was some form of justice like they didn't come out and there is some form of justice and as a kid going through it you wish you could do more you just feel so impotent you know what i'm saying yeah and then to family members you just you know you there's times in life where you felt like a man i wasn't there for you i didn't do this right we didn't we could have done like you know but as a family coming to hollywood unequipped with what was gonna happen with everything the fame and the industry the ups the downs this you know you know and then also being a very an asian family so it's already about saving face it's all about don't talk about
22:40 certain things and then all of a sudden this becomes like years of like oh ████ don't talk about that ████ that happened you know what i'm saying s███'s ████ up but that's part of that's part of the that's part of the industry sometimes it's part of life but it's just matter i'm glad you're still standing up dude all right man yeah thank you [Music]
