How Telly Leung's Parents Inadvertently Pushed Him to Broadway
Telly Leung loved the movie "Aladdin" as a kid. So it is a dream come true for the actor to be playing the principal role in the Broadway production. Leung is known for his work on other shows, including "Allegiance," and his time on the hit TV show, "Glee."
The actor says one of the most magical parts of the show is when he gets to "fly" on the magic carpet with Jasmine. Leung also candidly reflects on being an Asian-American performer on Broadway, a place that has historically been whitewashed. The actor also gives his response to the sexual allegations that have been coming out of Hollywood.
Perhaps the best part of the interview is when Kori Hale and Hope King convince Telly Leung to sing for them. "Aladdin" chooses Kori Hale as his Jasmine for the scene and serenades her with "A Whole New World."
A painter finds inspiration after a serious medical diagnosis, a teacher returns to school after a year battling leukemia and a family raises funds for cancer research after suffering a loss themselves.
Actors Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer, known for their roles on Black-ish and The Neighborhood respectively, are teaming up to launch a "BBQ lifestyle brand" called AC Barbeque and starring in a new show called Kings of Barbeque.
