I am an actor, and theatre & film director. I am Artistic Director of Cedar Grove OnStage (CGO), an Asian American theatre company at THE NEW LATC, in downtown Los Angeles. CGO presented a world premiere which I directed, written by award-winning performance artist Dan Kwong, entitled "Be Like Water," produced in association with East West Players, September 11 to October 12, 2008. Visit CGO on MySpace for more info: [www.myspace.com/cedargroveonstage]
I star as the romantic lead opposite Joan Chen, in Eric Byler's "Americanese," coming to U.S. theaters and Comcast Cable VOD from IFC Films. The Asian American indie feature is adapted from the seminal novel by Shawn Wong, "American Knees." I directed and star in the Academy Award® winning short film, "Visas and Virtue," inspired by the heroic actions of Holocaust rescuer Chiune Sugihara. Produced by my media company, Cedar Grove Productions, the film was adapted from a play by Tim Toyama . I also directed the Emmy® nominated half-hour PBS special, "Day of Independence," also from Cedar Grove Productions, about a Nisei baseball player facing the Japanese American internment during World War II.
I am currently developing more film projects with Cedar Grove Productions, in addition to stage plays to be presented by Cedar Grove Onstage
