I'm in the English dub of Shin Godzilla 4K as Shimura! Thank you to the team at @nyavpost.bsky.social, Michael Sinterniklaas, @stephaniesheh.bsky.social for the privilege of voicing acting in a Godzilla title. Out in theaters now! #godzilla #voiceactor

I feel tiny in this industry, but every once in a while, a Vietnamese fan will come out and be so proud to see a Vietnamese English voice actor. Makes you feel like you're leaving a mark, somehow. #voiceactor

Happy 25 years of #DynastyWarriors! Thank you to Koei Tecmo and Producer Tomohiko Sho for letting me be the English voice of Zhou Yu in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. Will you ride into hell with me? To Lu Bu and beyond! #DWOrigins #voiceactor #videogame #dynastywarriorsorigins

RIP Ozzy! #ozzyosbourne #blacksabbath

Abs coming in hot 🔥

On my Solo Leveling/Karate Kid arc. Gave myself 1 year to be ready to be a professional martial-arts actor. In my pursuit of being an Asian leading man, I’ve faced hurdles and ceilings enough to kill a dream, but you can’t kill a man that was born to be born again. #actor #martialartist #karatekid

Just getting this out of the way so folks can share when people inevitably start asking: No, the SAG-AFTRA strike ending does NOT mean that the #Genshin cast strike is also over. Genshin is Non-Union, and SAG’s contracts have no say on it. The cast strike is an independent Collective Work Refusal.

LA Area friends, if you've been thinking about learning to play the bagpipes, or just feel like whacking a couple of pans together, here's where to go:

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

I’m doing a Reddit AMA now on r/riseoftheronin. Ask me your questions! #riseoftheronin

I'm glad the strike is over, but I'll never stop thinking about the nasty tactics certain voice actors engaged in in just to "hurry up and get back to work" for a handful of dying and corrupt companies, and I know I'm not the only one. Many voice actors got a foul look at their heroes this strike.

STRIKES OVER! ANNOUNCEMENT TIME! I voice the protagonist in Dynasty Warriors: Origins! That's pretty cool!

Oh yeah, and I guess I voiced "Liu Bei" in Dynasty Warriors: Origins too~ 🤪 BIG THANKS TO MINA and BRIELLE for having me!! :D Oh, and to @koeitecmo.bsky.social for giving the cast all complimentary game keys! So kind!!!! <3

With the SAG-AFTRA Interactive Strike suspended, it’s my great privilege to officially announce that I’m the English voice of Zhou Yu and Xiahou Yuan in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. Let's pursue Lu Bu! #voiceactor #VoiceOver #videogames #dynastywarriors #DWORIGINS #zhouyu #dynastywarriorsorigins

Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

Gaysians, a graphic novel by @mikecurato.bsky.social, is out now and I’m honored to play Steven in the audiobook. Going from AAPI Heritage Month into Pride Month, I extend my biggest thanks to Mike for the queer Vietnamese representation in his book. (cont'd) #voiceactor #audiobook #LGBTQ #gaysians

It's frustrating cuz I have fans who play Genshin that are so misinformed on the strike cuz the YouTubers they follow are knowingly feeding their audience false information. I do my best to let these fans know the information is false, but it's beyond infuriating.

a Last, Best, Final Offer does not automatically implicate an impasse. a lapse in updates does not mean people are sitting around twiddling their thumbs; negotiations take a long time.

Monkeying around! #sunwukong #kungfu #wushu #wukong

Jonathan Joss' husband Tristan has released another statement saying that donations to their old home GoFundMe are not needed at this time and would ask for everyone to direct their energy towards spreading the message about how he was in fact murdered in a hate crime

"Games aren't political" grifters in shambles.

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words... Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

historically, companies involved in labor disputes exacerbate stakes & create panic in order to try & get workers to make concessions & fold to their less-than-ideal propositions, ESPECIALLY when they’re starting to feel the pressure. this doesn’t negate the very real stakes. BUT. important context

NAVA celebrates the life and talent of Jonathan Joss and extends our heartfelt condolences to his friends and family for this terrible loss.

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

I’m still shaking typing right now from the breakdown I had hearing about Jonathon Joss’s murder. I will never understand how some people in this world can hold such rotting hatred in their hearts for something as pure and beautiful as love. But no matter how brutal and hateful and evil they are?

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

News from the world of companies using AI to cheat, lie, and steal. Share this story. It is despicable, and what’s worse, in due time it’s going to be tragically typical and unremarkable. Unless we fight them. NOW. www.bbc.com/news/article...

They're making us a "Last Best Final Offer" we can (and must) refuse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zws...

Then stop shoving it in our @sagaftra.org contracts. Actors hate this shit too.

Here it is, what needs to change in the Last Best and Final offer (LBFO) — all in one place. Let’s come together. Let’s get this deal done. #VideoGameStrike #SagAftraStrong

One of the only times I’ll willingly link to a Facebook post, to signal boost a much more through explanation of the current #voiceover #videogame contract up for negotiation, from a far more educated and experienced colleague than myself: www.facebook.com/1221024852/p... We *CANNOT* mess this up.

Issue #2 (among many)? The right to use generated AI voices - including yours - to scab for you during a future strike. Yes, YOU the PERSON retain the right to go on strike. But your Digital Replica is allowed to keep working (or replace you). Unless you wanna *pay the company* to rescind that. :)

There are a lot of images being shared by the community, some of which are, unfortunately, not accurate. It does not help anyone to spread misinformation about the Last Best and Final Offer (LBFO) given to membership in regards to the IMA Contract. #voiceover #voiceactors

💜 EQUITY SOLIDARITY 💜 Thank you @equityuk.bsky.social for this article letting UK members know what our strike entails and how to best support our efforts. We appreciate the international solidarity! Link to full article at the end of the thread 👇 (1/4)

You’ve probably heard the term SL6 thrown around a lot - a term for projects that were given permission/legal status to continue despite the strike because of last agreements. I thought those permissions were permanent - they’re not. Which means the allowance to work on them is starting to expire.

It’s a *known fact* that outside influences participated in misinformation campaigns on social media during major elections within this country, in order to try & skew the outcome to a specific result. … Anyway, we’re in the middle of a climactic moment of a MAJOR strike in the videogame industry!

If anyone is seeing some kind of chart supposedly showing the advantages and/or gains for VAs from management’s “last best and final”, you should know the following: - This did not come from the union. - It is DEEPLY misleading. - The fact that it’s circulating now is extremely suspect.

Regarding today's latest batch of really lazy strike-busting propaganda. There's a LOT wrong with "the chart", but this bit in particular I truly love because it makes the dishonesty of the author shockingly, inarguably clear. Don't believe the hype.

Morgan Freeman may have the voice of God, but I have the voice of the Devil. I'm thrilled to reprise my role as the titular announcer in season 2 of "The Devil's Plan," streaming now on Netflix. #thedevilsplandeathroom #voiceactor #데블스플랜_데스룸 #netflix

The Force is a lot like Chi. May the Force be with you. #StarWarsDay #taichi #maythe4th

Two years ago, I discovered Boogaloo-style Popping. Learning to freestyle completely changed me as a dancer and artist. Less about doing moves and more about reacting to music. Not a bone in this old school body. Happy International Dance Day! #internationaldanceday #dance #popping

Kung Fu photoshoot!

Sink the chi

The audiobook version of The Magic Fish by @trungles.com is out now on Audible. I’m proud to be in the company of an all-star Vietnamese American cast of narrators in this graphic novel. I voice Dad and… some birds. 👀 That as fun! Thank you to Penguin Random House!

Living in the United States my whole life has taught me to have a complicated relationship with martial arts. “Too stereotypically Asian.” What I’ve learned now that I’m older? Hating your culture is so silly. Decolonize your minds, people of the global majority. I’m white belt… again!

May you be resilient—flowing, waving, coiling—adapting to any obstacle. May you be liquid—too slippery for harm’s grip. May you outwit strength with softness. May you slither unnoticed and strike the same. May you have the wisdom of a snake. Chúc mừng năm mới! 恭喜發財! #yearofthesnake
