  • @"mynameisthetruth"

    Daniel definitely belongs with the actors who have the passion to constantly learning how to improve his craft.

    It has been fascinating watching this Oakland native enter Hollywood's landscape and the type of support he is receiving (or not receiving) from the Asian Pacific American communities.

  • For anyone that has listened to this video, one will realize that he is much more George Clooney than Ashton Kutcher

  • It was a total pleasure to talk to somebody who was passionate about his craft, as oppose to being a "Star" or the (ahem) first "successful Chinese/Asian (singer, actor, songwriter, dancer, producer, director, etc.)!

  • Corrections in "CAPS"

    "while everybody outside were NOT aware of the George Clooney of HK WAS BEING INTERVIEWED"

    "one just has to embrace . . and enjoy the privilege."

  • Were there any problems hearing and/or understanding Daniel's words?

    Look forward to any comments on what Daniel spoke about?

    Note:

    Enjoyed the noise setting of your "UIBC Hilton LAX December 5th Ultimate Internet Bootcamp" video

  • Funny comments. When rare and unexpected opportunites present itself to have a video interview with an actor of Daniel's stature, one just has to embrace the and enjoy the privilege. With Daniel, the setting of his choice was not available and we looked for the closest place of his preference since he knows the area well.

    It was interesting that the Chinese waitresses knew exactly who he was (see pic @ end of the interview) while everybody outside were aware of the George Clooney of HK!

  • so wise :)

  • he was so passionate abt the topic that he kept on talking even when the alarm went haywire.

  • next time you interview the man, please go to a rock concert or a night club, because there is not enough background noise and I can kind of hear Mr. Wu in this video.
