The Ride short film
November 01, 2011
You know the really handsome Asian actor from Heros and Hawaii Five-0? So James Kyson Lee contacts me on my FB Page to ask if I'd perform a role in his upcoming short film, The Ride. I'm of course down, but get this - the director of the film is my long time friend, Dave Schwepp of Dreamsequences, whom I've shot many a photograph with.. Now I am totally stoked! This Hollyworld is becoming smaller and deliciously smaller. Please enjoy our performances in The Ride:

Does the vegan diet make me a better actor?
October 25, 2011
Sometimes people ask me if it can be done. If one can actually be a professional athlete on a plant based diet. The truth is, I can't imagine how one could on any other diet. I imagine bogging my system down with slow digesting animal products or lifeless over cooked foods and I think to myself how much my performance would suffer. In fact, if I eat a cooked vegan meal or two on a weekend, my balance is off in my yoga class on Monday and I'm just kinda tired in general until my body finishes digesting the heavy meal. I THRIVE as a vegetarian (vegan/raw food) professional dancer and danger artist and consider it the OPTIMAL lifestyle because I am serious about my physicality and physique.
I get asked that question all the time. But rarely do I get asked the question this tv segment asked me. Supreme Master TV's "Vegetarian Elite" series profiled me as, well, an elite vegetarian (wow!) and asked me some pretty thought provoking questions on spirituality and art. And my favorite was a question I've never been asked before: does the raw vegan diet make me a better actor? Watch our segment to see my surprised, impromptu answer:
