What’s a typical immigrant story? In his new film, “Minari,” the “Walking Dead” star has his own to tell.
Tsutsuloo’s note: Excellent interview with Steven Yeun, a very thoughtful actor. Topics include his immigrant identity, being American, how he doesn’t quite fit in in Korea, the film Minari, seeing things through our immigrant parents’ eyes.
The author begins with his own challenges with telling his story as a writer. Actual interview begins below the photo of Steven Yeun’s dressed-in-white photo.

I was going to post this interview as well! A very great deal to unpack here.
It feels like we’ve been waiting for Minari forever!
