@@havesomeculture Yeah but there was a huge power dynamic going on there. They were in the castle. There were guards everywhere. You don't think that he would have been killed?

22:12 Also not the first time he’s played a father in the Avatarverse. He voiced Hiroshi Sato in LoK.

And both father roles are.. well.. something

Through this interview, I realized that Daniel Dae Kim is a very eloquent speaker and so humble. I admired him as an actor in Lost and I am glad he got to play a part in ATLA. He really captured the essence of Lord Ozai. I look forward to him taking on many great roles under his belt in his career.

18:50 the moment he started talking about ATLA live-actions like that, I knew Philip was one of us 😆 THERE IS NO MOVIE IN BA SING SE

Wow I didn’t know he was from wong fu productions. But he looked familiar

Such a humble guy! What a legend 🙌

This guy truly fits the look of Fire Lord Ozai. They did a great job casting him. Been a fan of his since LOST.

Daniel DAE Kim leading the fight against the Asian Dad Starter Pack. We love to see it

Phil and DDK talking about fatherhood is something I did not know I needed

I remember my first exposure to Daniel was on Angel, the spinoff series from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He may have played an evil ambitious lawyer for a demon firm, but man did exude charisma every time he was on screen, and we were lucky to have him as a recurring character. I was so pleased to see him get a regular role on Lost, and every time he showed up in other series like 24. So happy for him for all the success he's earned, and it's awesome that he gets to play Ozai!

People may know him as Ozai but I know him as Johnny Gat 😂

Missed opportunity for Phil to ask Daniel to compare Ozai and Hiroshi's terrible parenting, lol. Glad we got a General Fong mention, though, haha. 😅

That daddy motivational phrases hits hard especially coming from Lord Ozai. DDK the best!

21:19 _"If i can be considered as cool to my nephews and nieces and my own kids then that's a win"_ ngl this is wholesome💙

20:58 it is same for pedro pascal. He asked kids if he should take the role of Joel and they're like YES!!!!

I am so grateful for this interview. As a non Asian person with immigrant parents who is also pursuing acting, his story resonated with me greatly. Thank you both for doing this!

Netflix please do a full movie or series with WongFu!❤

Yesss let's push this comment up!! WF4 LyFe 🎉

I will always be thankful for his portrayal as Jin. Lost is my favorite show and I absolutely loved Jin!

What a relaxed, yet humorous and inspiring episode. Been a big fan of Daniel Dae Kim since Lost! I love that he's always repping Hawaii and AAPI everywhere he goes. I hope to run into him someday in Hawaii! 🤙🌴

20:53 DDK reminds me to Viggo Mortensen, when he asked the opinion of his son when he was hesitating to play Aragorn, the heir of the crown of Gondor. And his son told him "You have to play Aragorn". Most of the best actors I've known, were unsure if they should accept playing their roles. But what I can see, is that when they listen to kids (nephews, nieces, sons, daughters, grandchildren, etc.) they end up delivering the best character I've seen from that actor. Because you understand that the actor isn't doing the work so he can say in the future "Ya know, I played the bad guy of this series". They're doing their job so the kids in their family can tell to their friends "Hey, did you know that my father is the fire lord Ozai?" And when an actors does that, the character they're playing is 1000 times better than the original character it's based on. I can say exactly that with Daniel Dae Kim and Ozai, the Fire Lord. I can see his nieces, kids and nephews telling to their friends: "Hey, my father/uncle is the fire lord Ozai". And that just makes me feel better about the cast, and the show itself. I hope in the future, DDK's kids can appreciate the great work he did.

I like hearing that more and more often, because kids have no filter - as DDK put it, it's a mixture of stupidity and naivete that allows them to take risks. And if a kid - whether your own or a relative's - can see you in the role, or sometimes more importantly, INSISTS that you need to take that role, then it means that it's a must. Hell, this even applies to video games. God of War had some of the best acting, period, that I've seen in a long time. EVERYBODY was pitch-perfect. And some of the adults - Richard Schiff and Chris Judge in particular - took those roles specifically because their kids told them that they HAD to do it.

I really enjoyed this interview! Well done! (And lol at crossing streams with Daniel Dae Kim)

As 90s Asian baby (gaysian, to be specific) that grew up on early 2000s KZread and media, it's legends like WongFu Productions that make me proud to still see thriving and successful. YOU BETTER DO YOUR THANG PHIL. (And please I hope a bopomofo cafe eventually opens in Toronto because I would literally go everyday and bring all my friends). ALSO: Love hearing from DDK. I just finished watching ATLA on Netflix and loved the live action remake and him in it.

Second this! Bring one to Toronto!

I’ll never forget his amazing performance on Lost. I was SO happy hearing he would be in The Last Airbender! 👏

What a great interview!! I really love the Spill the Boba Tea series

My first time seeing Daniel Dae Kim was in the sci-fi. Babylon 5 spin-off Crusade as Lt. Matheson. A telepath serving next to Capt Gideon. I’ve been following him since…he is talented actor.

He voiced general Fong in the OG avatar cartoon , mr sato in legend of Korra and he’s playing fire lord ozai in the live action. Bro is the GOAT

Love these collabs. Fantastic interview!

I enjoyed this so much. Great interview!

What an amazing interview!! We missed you WongFu 🤩

The affirmations have been recorded. Also, the comparing cousins reminded me of Steven He. Please get him on the show. Maybe with Nigel Ng.

This was a fantastic interview

I love DDK, one of my favorite actors. Awesome gentlemen and extremely skilled at his craft. Yes, Daniel, I agree you're a leading man. Nice interview 🥰🤗🥰🤗.

That dad advice was solid.

saving this so I can watch those affirmations when I need them. Those deliveries were just what my heart needed

Loved this format!

So glad they discussed Lost! Such a great show that really changed the course of sci-fi television ❤️

Love this! Great interview ❤

The affirmations we all needed to hear.

What!!! He once lived in my hometown!!! That's so cool knowing I walked through streets he's seen before.

Also. In Easton, there's more hispanic/mexican than asian people. My family is Cambodian (dad) and Mexican (mom). Went to school there from 08-19. I would say each class was about 50% white, and the rest were black and other minorities.

This was great. DDK is a true trailblazer

LEGENDDDD!!!

Wasn't expecting to see Wongfu here. Great segment. Looked like a delicious drink.

2 of my FAVORITE people! Nice job Philip!!!

never watched ATLA the cartoon before but after watching ATLA on netflix, its pretty sick. loved all of the cast lol. and daniel what a legend!

I am so happy to see another season of Spill the Boba Tea!

DANIEL DAE KIM OMG WHAT A DREAMBOAT ❤

Those 'Asian Dad' affirmations 😂

It's crazy to see younger pics of Daniel and to also know what his sons look like as current teens/young adults, and they are literally spitting images of him lmao

FINALY. HE FINALY GETTING PROPS FOR WHATS HE DOES.'CONGRATS DANIEL''

This man looks like an intimidating guy, but it seems like he's a cool guy. Lol

Great interview.

Loved him in Hawaii Five-O. Daddy Dae Kim ❤

Phillip is such a good interviewer! Love DDK since Lost!

Best DDK interview I’ve seen so far.

I remember Daniel being on Star Trek: Voyager. And that was bit of a lead alien role

I didn’t know he did Mech Cadets! That show was awesome I hope we get a season 2.

What a humble dude and class act

Watched this show three times now, me and kids enjoyed it. We need a season 2. 😊. Seriously.❤

It's Johnny Gat!

Quote of the Day: “FIRE LORD IS MELTING HEARTS RIGHT NOW.”

Ken Leung is the one that deserves the spotlight and the career. By far. He steals every scene he's in, his presence, intensity, such depth where you never wouldve expected. Seriously, did he piss off some bigshot producer or what? No offense, Kim. Leung's lack of deserved recognition should be a war crime.

That was so wholesome 😊

DDK!! LOVED THIS

I didn’t know he graduated high school in my town. That’s so cool! He’s such an amazing actor

What a great interview. Such a wholesome and dedicated guy. I aspire to have that level of calmness and finnese when talking.

LOL! The affirmations were hilarious. My Chinese immigrant dad actually did say something along the lines of "A B plus is good enough" -- unironically, believe it or not-- But in my head I was still putting a lot of pressure on myself to be perfect with straight As...

Daniel Dae Kim such an attractive man, he was perfect as Fire Lord Ozai.

This man! 😍😍😍

I love DDK! He was the best actor in Avatar! He hit Firelord Ozai spot on

Season 2 I’m ready! I need more

I’m drooling over Daniel Bae Kim but Phil is such a great host and YOU’RE DOING GREAT

That intro!!!!!!

Wang Fire 🔥

Imagine being that handsome and only getting 3 auditions a YEAR. Jesus it's brutal out there.

I know he's been in a ton of shows. But I will always remember him in Angel as Gavin Park

Great job phil interviewing fire lord ozai

Ok I have Jamaican parents and i DEFINITELY needed to hear those affirmations! LOLOL

"That pleased him. He told me it was a job well done. And then he said ...Beware of power, Zoya. There is no amount of it that can make them love you." - Leigh Bardugo

I'm a fan. Glad to see a fellow Asian making it big. One that I can be proud to say...

My boi Johnny Gat, long live Johnny Gat

I first saw DDK in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2. He was Dr Otto Octavius' lab assistant. He saw the power of the sun up close 😅

This interview is SO GOOD! Also, does anyone know the background of Phil when it comes to drinks? I know he has Bopomofo but was he a bartender or something before?

He's done so many things, but every time I hear his voice, I just think of his character Johnny Gat from the Saint's Row games.

BRO WAS GENERAL FONG?? also Philip talking about live action adaptation... ONE OF US

🌟😍 So excited to hear from Daniel Dae Kim about his legendary career! Ready to sip some boba tea and get inspired! 🎬🍵

3:03 Great TV show idea

JIN FROM LOST JIN FROM LOST JIN FROM LOST!!!!!!! will always remember him from that show and Jin + Sun were the first Korean couple I ever romanticized!!! Before I started watching kdramas 😂

The show is so good and DDK plays Ozai with such flair and different levels, manipulating Azula and treating Zuko with such contempt and disregard.

Daniel Dae Kim is and always has been so fine, my goodness

It's wild to see Phil there

27:53 "Different show" 💀😂

Can we get a re-record of DDK saying the affirmations, but looking into the camera and without the glasses? Kthxbye

Thank you for the asian affirmations DDK, now I'm going screen record that and play it everytime I get compared to a cousin.

This is a boba shop in sgv lol I forgot the name of it but it's in the same Plaza as golden deli!

❤😂

"I'm glad you pursued the arts" Said NO asian dad ever ! And certainly not mine ! That one made me laugh painfully (I'm an animation artist). But awesome interview ! It's so great to see they're long time friends. I feel like Netflix should give WF productions a go into making their own series, since 50% of their Asian actors basically started at WF.
