Quotes by Brian Tee
I think, as kids, everyone is fascinated with dinosaurs. I definitely was. It is the ultimate big, huge, monster.
Parts for Asians are hard enough to get, and if Tee, which sounds kind of generically Asian, helps me get roles, so be it.
I had a lot of funky things as a kid. I had dinosaurs and comic book stuff. I was eccentric; imagination drove my decor. Dinosaurs, for sure, were in there!
I've been a huge fan of the 'Jurassic Park' movies. It was one of the reasons why I wanted to be an actor.
For the most part, the roles Asians can get aren't necessarily well-rounded, and more often than not, they're stereotypes. But that's all we have. And then we see each other all the time at auditions, because we're all going for the same role. I've made a lot of friends that way.
When you're Shredder for Halloween as a kid, and now you get to play him, it's like a childhood dream come to life.
I loved these turtles that were somehow mutants and teenagers, and they were ninjas. How cool is that?
