I like that Seth is fucking Asian. That's sick... I remember reading the audition and I actually hit up my manager, I was like, "Are you sure you want me to play this? Like, are you sure you want me to play this character?" And he was like, "Yeah. Why not?" I was like, "I don't know, man. I'm reading this script, and this Seth dude seems pretty built out for some white dude in Hollywood." He was like, "Dude. Just let it be. Just put [your name] down." ... The fact that they gave it to a hapa kid, [who is part] Japanese, I was just like, "Oh, wow. Let's go."
