Hank Chen for a candid and wildly entertaining conversation,
spanning the spectrum of work ethics, entertainment industry ins
and outs, and the intersection of SW and mainstream careers. Hank
shares tales from his path to acting, opening up about the
challenges and nuances of being a gay Asian man in the limelight.
