Biography

In the phone scene in Trade Offs (2003), he wears a blue shirt with a white logo of a 'film dragon' which was the logo for an Asian Film Festival of which he was a film-programmer in 2001.

His first experience of catching the filmmaking/acting bug was at the 2001 Palm Springs Film Festival where he attended as a film programmer from another film festival in hopes of recruiting films. He was given a stipend to stay for three days at a hotel. After the first day, he was hanging out with A-list cinematographers during a panel and was in complete awe. Immediately afterwards, he called his director and told her that he would use the stipend for food and gas then slept in his car for eight days. He ended up watching 34 feature films in that week and as many as seven in one day.

Shares a birthday with Martin Scorsese and Lee Strasberg.
