I might be the only person on this planet to have not yet seen Industry, so my point of reference for this week's subject, Ken Leung, is not the character Eric Tao but Miles Straume of Lost fame. It's one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Before his breakout roles in Rush Hour and The Sopranos, Leung grew up in Manhattan, moving to Brooklyn in high school and finally settling in the New Jersey suburbs. He tells me he discovered acting during his junior year of college at NYU by accident. "I was taking a speech class and we had to write and perform a skit," he remembers. When his friend noticed how much he enjoyed it, he suggested he take acting. |
