Crazy Rich Asians' Nico Santos Talks Fashion and Representation - An Exclusive Hyphen Video Interview

August 20, 2018

Crazy Rich Asians was released in theaters this past weekend. In honor of this significant milestone in Asian American film, our film and tv editor Christian Ting met with Nico Santos in L.A. to conduct a very special interview at the Beverly Center. Nico, who is widely known for his role as Mateo on NBC's Superstore, began his career as a stand-up comedian, with appearances at several L.A. comedy venues and United Citizen's Brigade Asian AF shows.

At the boutique fashion store Traffic Los Angeles, he discussed the dazzling press tour leading up to the film, his love of fashion and what it meant to be part of this special film.
