Jen was so glad to FINALLY meet James Hong at the 2015 Hollywood Christmas Parade. With his prolific career, you would think their paths might have crossed sooner!

James is now on Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, streaming on Max, and American Born Chinese, streaming on Disney+.

This series, The Early Tapes, features a look at the very first time Jen talked to certain celebrities. Some were already established, others were just starting out in the business, while others were in between. With some, you’ll get a bit more of the behind the scenes banter that didn’t make the cut for the original red carpet reports.
