- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I often get asked which 'Superstore' episode is my favorite. That's such a hard question to answer. It's like being asked: Which of your children (and by children, I mean shoes) do you like best?
- Brother

My brother joined the Army. He served multiple tours in Iraq and now lives in Texas with his family.

We must work to change in our hearts and minds what it looks like to be undocumented. It is the high schooler dreaming of college who isn't aware of his status. It is the single mother working grueling hours in a warehouse just to provide for her children. It is the family that sits next to you in church. It is your neighbor.
- Need
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We all need to call upon our lawmakers to create a path to citizenship for hard-working, law-abiding undocumented people and their families.

I don't think people should be afraid of portraying people with accents, especially Asian accents.
- Just Because
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People with accents exist and just because they have an accent doesn't mean they're less intelligent or what-have-you.
- American Television
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It still baffles my brain that I actually get to portray a character on American television that's this gay, femme-y Filipino guy.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's really mind-boggling to me when I think about where I started and where I am now. It's kind of insane.
- Design
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't want to do Chekhov or Shakespeare. So I switched my major from acting to costume design. Eventually, I got a job working as a wardrobe assistant for a theater company. I would dress the actors, fix their costumes, do the quick changes for them and all that stuff.
- Comedy Central
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My intent when I moved to L.A. was to get in good with the comedy clubs and, eventually, try to break into Comedy Central and have my half hour special.
- Fifth
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Superstore' is, like, my fifth acting job.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The fact that I am a Filipino actor playing a Filipino role is crazy. Filipinos are the second largest Asian minority in the United States, and we're hardly represented in the media and on television.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I came out to one or two people in high school and then it wasn't until I was a freshman in college that I was fully out of the closet. It was like the late '90s.
- Acting Career
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I moved to L.A., I had no intention of really pursuing acting. I wanted to focus on stand-up. It's crazy to me that my acting career took off much faster than my stand-up career.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm portraying out characters, I'm portraying femme characters, characters that are really outside of the box. I never thought I would get that opportunity to portray those characters at all, much less have a career that I have.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My brownness is something that I can't hide. There are some straight-acting or straight-passing queer people out there, but I'm not one of them. This is something I would rather not have to hide.
- Mom
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My dad was undocumented for a period of time, my mom was also undocumented for a period of time.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Shows like 'Superstore' and certainly 'Pose' are leading the way and showing queer people of color in a much more complex, nuanced light that we've never seen.
- Find
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What I've come to find out is it doesn't matter if you're selling a $10,000 gown or toilet paper: The everyday sort of humdrum of customer service and retail is the same.
- Filipino
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You rarely see a Filipino family on TV.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In high school the very first job I got was I worked as a cashier in Burgerville, which is this fast food place in Oregon. I kind of grew up to be a spoiled little kid so my dad was like, 'You're going to get a job for the summer!' I was this clueless immigrant like, 'May I take your order? Sorry sir, I don't know what I'm doing!'
- Done
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've done retail before.
- Immigrant

I think any immigrant who comes to this country also knows somebody who is undocumented.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We, Filipinos, are really great about keeping a positive attitude and seeing the silver lining in all things. We're survivors!
- Little

- Nov 07, 2020
I've gotten auditions with as little as two hours' notice. Those don't go so well!
- First
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I had a rough start when I moved to L.A. I couldn't find a job, so I couch-surfed for the first two years.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My family always believed in me, even when I didn't. Having that love and support made me not afraid of failing. I knew my mom would be proud of me just for taking a chance and pursuing my dream.
- Fluent
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm so Filipino. I'm fluent in Filipino.
- Born
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I should have been born a crazy rich Asian because I do have expensive taste. I have champagne taste but I'm on a beer budget.
