Published on May 7, 2021

Daniel talks about living in Toronto, his show “Stowaway,” family trips when he was a kid, his parents wanting him to be a doctor or lawyer, people getting nervous when he got a plane with the cast of “Lost,” the anniversary of his character Jin’s death, his new charitable foundation called the Asian American Foundation focusing on stopping anti-Asian hate, and working to help get his friend James Hong on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

    Is there anyway that you could help in bringing awareness in the hurtful use of the “R” word. I see it used all the time in youtube and movies. I have a daughter with special needs and it kills me everytime I hear it spoken. I think if we could educate people on how hurtful and derogatory it is to someone who cant speak up for themselves, people would think twice about using the word. Some don’t have have a voice but it still hurts and its downright degrading

    I love Daniel but that movie looks boring. Where are the good sci-fi movies Netflix!? I’ll take a cartoon Battle Star Galactica right now. The expanse season ended & what a great season that was.
    All these psychological space movies that are emotionally dramatic is pure garbage.
    I want an alien invasion movie or a space civilization movie where the aliens don’t look like squids.
    I hope Dune doesn’t suck even though that’s more of a space opera with not a whole lot of sci-fi tech.

    OMG! He’s getting James Hong a star on the Hollywood walk of fame! He’s so deserving of it! I’m mad the audience didn’t know who JH was. Lopan is iconic, not to mention all of the other movies I’ve seen him in in the past 40 years.

    I think Jimmy’s confusing Jin’s death with Charlie’s. He said I’ll never forget you…looking through the thing. I think he meant the porthole and that wasn’t Jin it was Charlie. So he forgot. Lol

    I remember how sad that Jin and Sun scene was. Rewatched it and it still made me cry.

    And these Asians who are Christian/Muslim will walk into their places of worship and cheer when the priest says Heaven is for THEM ONLY! ALL unbelievers will be set apart and dumped into gas chambers in hell just as Jews were set apart and mass murdered!

    The root cause of “Asian hate” is from tv Channels like Fox-news and hate radio stations from the far-right. They brain wash low minded people with Xenophobia.

    I’m Japanese American, and fourth generation Japanese of Japanese immigrant grate grandparents from Hokkaido. And my Japanese ancestors are involved with the Asian holocaust from the invasion of China in 1937 to the end of World War II, the Japanese military regime murdered near 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most probably almost 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese people. And Asian Americans cries Asian Hate this is why you don’t See Japanese and Vietnamese American people supporting the hashtag stopaapihate failed movement
