We know it is now November and it is no longer Filipino American History Month, but there were a few Filipino Americans on TV we HAD to talk about!
In a bonus episode and part 2 of our Filipinos Playing Filipinos series, we take a look at more serious/dramatic roles played by Filipinos on television. We discuss Filipino parents, the mythical vampire-like Aswang, and how we cannot get enough of Jon Jon Briones's acting.
On this week's episode we focus on the following actors/characters/shows:
Conrad Ricamora as Oliver Hampton from How to Get Away with Murder
Reggie Lee as Sergeant Drew Wu from Grimm
Jon Jon Briones as Dr. Richard Hannover from Ratched
Darren Criss and Jon Jon Briones as Andrew and Modesto Cunanan on The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story
