A Conversation with Dorren Lee

Asian American History 101

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 57! We’re back with a new episode! The move is done, we finally unpacked our audio gear, and we’re eager to create some new content. This episode is a conversation with Asian Canadian actress Dorren Lee. She’s probably best known for being in recurring roles on Diggstown and Kung Fu, but she also played the narcissistic boss, Ingrid Jordan, in the romantic comedy Lease on Love. She has several other credits to her name including the upcoming short film The Park, where Dorren not only acts in it but also writes, produces, and directs. We talk to her about that experience as well as several of her other roles, how classical piano has helped her acting, thoughts on more representational roles and stories, the importance of Diggstown and Kung Fu, learning American Sign Language, the power of making mistakes, and so much more.
