The Working APA Actor is a bi-monthly interview of Asian Pacific Islander American actors in the entertainment world, whether it be theater, film, television, the internet, or commercials. It is an inside look at these actors exploring their passion in their craft and how they balance their personal lives with their work. But more importantly, this column is dedicated to knowing these busy actors a little better as individuals.
Jimmy Wong needs no better introduction than this: he is one of the few artists who instead of posting a video expressing their outrage over Alexandra Wallace’s rant on Asians in the library, went the more creative route (perhaps THE most creative route) with his truly original and hilarious song known simply as the “Ching Chong song.” As such, YouTubers could also check out his amazing covers (my favorite being Britney Spear’s “Till the World Ends”) as well as his other original content . You all know him as an amazingly talented and extremely funny musician but did you know that he’s an actor as well? You didn’t, did you?
Well, move over Rover, and let Jimmy take over!
