“I was a dress-up Spider-Man for kids' birthday parties for a while.” — Simu Liu

Was I a Jackie Chan-level martial arts master? Absolutely not! Not by any stretch of the imagination. I'm an actor. I'm a performer.

Representation matters. And it's about more than just actors on a screen. It's about snacks, it's about food, it's about culture, in every possible way.

I studied finance and accounting in college, and I worked at a massive accounting firm out of graduation.

A superhero represents infinite possibility. It represents the peak of aspiration and courage. And if you see yourself reflected as a superhero, you will give yourself permission to dream anything.
