(gentle music)

2
00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:04.040
<v Tawny Newsome>I recently listened to</v>

3
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:05.470
an episode of your pod,

4
00:00:05.470 --> 00:00:06.660
All the Asians on Star Trek,

5
00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:08.840
the interview you did with Rosalind Chao,

6
00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:10.090
who played Keiko O'Brien

7
00:00:10.090 --> 00:00:11.850
in both TNG and DS Nine,

8
00:00:11.850 --> 00:00:13.660
hearing you talk about how

9
00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:16.570
she was one of the first Asian faces,

10
00:00:16.570 --> 00:00:18.451
that you got to see on TV

11
00:00:18.451 --> 00:00:20.120
from Different Strokes,

12
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:21.540
from her work in Joy Luck Club,

13
00:00:21.540 --> 00:00:23.230
like one of the most prominent people

14
00:00:23.230 --> 00:00:26.110
that you got to really identify with on screen.

15
00:00:26.110 --> 00:00:27.850
It was a really cool conversation between you

16
00:00:27.850 --> 00:00:29.780
and she was a little bashful about it.

17
00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:30.890
<v Phil Yu>I was geeking out hard.</v>

18
00:00:30.890 --> 00:00:31.790
I mean, I was like

19
00:00:31.790 --> 00:00:32.650
<v Newsome>Sure.</v>

20
00:00:32.650 --> 00:00:34.118
<v Phil Yu>She's a legend,</v>

21
00:00:34.118 --> 00:00:34.951
in a lot of ways to me,

22
00:00:34.951 --> 00:00:36.840
because she was one of those,

23
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:38.520
few people that I saw regularly

24
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:39.900
when I was growing up

25
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:40.760
in movies and television.

26
00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:43.240
And then she was so sweet and so cool.

27
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:44.640
And I got to, gosh, I'm like

28
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.310
I love doing Different Strokes.

29
00:00:46.310 --> 00:00:47.370
You know, you were in Mash,

30
00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:48.770
Joy Luck Club changed my life,

31
00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:49.700
like all this stuff.

32
00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:51.800
And then also doing a deep dive where I really

33
00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:53.990
appreciated the character of Keiko O'Brien.

34
00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:54.830
And in a lot of ways,

35
00:00:54.830 --> 00:00:55.940
it's like, you know, it was like

36
00:00:55.940 --> 00:00:57.230
this is also another job for her,

37
00:00:57.230 --> 00:00:58.570
but I was like, no,

38
00:00:58.570 --> 00:00:59.870
I need to communicate to you.

39
00:00:59.870 --> 00:01:02.523
This is very meaningful to me in my life.
