"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" Star Talks Diversity in Hollywood
The Emmy Award-winning comedy "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" is changing things up in its third season. Actor Vincent Rodriguez III joins Cheddar to discuss why he thinks the show has been so successful. The triple-threat actor, singer, and dancer reveals what it was like to serve as assistant choreographer on one of his big musical numbers this season.
Rodriguez III says its been inspiring getting to work alongside series creator Rachel Bloom. He explains how the experience readied him to move outside his comfort zone and work behind the scenes. The triple threat also considers whether he'd ever return to New York to star on Broadway.
Finally, Rodriguez discusses what it's like being one of the few Asian-American actors portraying a romantic lead in Hollywood. The entertainment industry has seen its share of controversy for casting white actors as Asian characters. The actor says it's a fantastic time to be diverse in the industry.
An Associated Press analysis of more than 130 bills in 40 state legislatures found of the proposals, as introduced or passed, are identical or very similar to some model legislation, the AP found.
The first book in the Harry Potter series hit shelves in 1997. Since then, it’s become a multibillion dollar franchise with multiple books and movies, a theme park, and now an interactive exhibit in New York City. Cheddar’s own Ashley Mastronardi visited earlier this week before it was open to the public.
Cheddar recommends "Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl," "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," "The Mother," "A Man Called Otto," "The Covenant," and "The Great American Recipe."
Alyssa Fox, the first Asian-American to star as Elphaba the witch in Broadway's 'Wicked,' spoke with Cheddar News to discuss how she landed her dream role and the logistics behind her character.
