Episode 278: Osric Chau
Manage episode 372466605 series 2640551
Actor Osric Chau is equally adept at comedy and drama, and at being a supportive member of an ensemble while still shining on his own. Osric played Kevin Tran, a high school student turned ghost turned prophet, on Supernatural, and Vogel, a member of the quartet known as the Rowdy Three, on Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. He won a Leo Award for Best Supporting Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series for portrayal of Charles in Blood and Water, the first television drama series produced for a Chinese Canadian audience that mixed dialogue in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, and he’s had great roles in Star Trek Discovery, Nancy Drew, Christmas at the Golden Dragon, and The Flash. Osric is also a producer. He’s a writer and director. He’s been a restaurateur. He’s spoken out about acts of hatred against Asian Canadians and Asian Americans. In this compelling and at times soul-stirring episode, Osric talks genre-hopping, navigating the industry as an Asian actor, how Supernatural’s Kevin Tran changed his life, and the deeply moving story behind his stunning look for the 2016 Leo Awards.
