00:00 Action!
00:01 The Brother's Son is an action family drama show.
00:08 One brother stayed in LA and was naive to the whole family business.
00:12 Who are you working for?
00:13 I do some driving for Lyft, but I think we're considered inept at the contract.
00:16 And one that was completely knee-deep in the family business.
00:20 It's my duty to protect the family.
00:23 It was really a show about Asian immigrant families.
00:27 And I said, "Oh, that's a world unexplored both by me and on television."
00:31 Michelle Yeoh plays Mama's son.
00:34 She is an icon, an Oscar winner.
00:37 She's the most talented actress.
00:39 Time to talk business.
00:40 What I love about the series is it's got so much humor in it.
00:45 Mom?
00:46 I think that most astounding thing was watching her nurture and mentor our really young cast.
00:53 I really enjoyed being part of this group of amazing young actors.
00:58 I am still your mother.
01:00 I love you, Mom.
01:00 You can't help but love Sam.
01:02 He just exudes this great energy and he brought that to Bruce.
01:09 What is that?
01:09 He does improv.
01:13 Justin, who plays Charles' son, he's incredibly handsome, incredibly fit,
01:18 and has a seriousness about his craft that you don't usually see with young actors.
01:24 We needed someone who had a deep connection to their vulnerability,
01:27 but also could punch stuff and look cool.
01:29 Our show is very uniquely itself.
01:34 We have amazing action set pieces.
01:36 Fight sequences, including the ones that get pretty violent,
01:44 had to have a little bit of a wink to them.
01:47 Why are you stopping?
01:49 We're in the middle of a beating.
01:50 I just gotta catch my breath.
01:52 Sometimes two or three winks.
01:54 Food porn is important to this show.
02:00 A good portion of the meals are based around traditional Chinese dishes,
02:08 family style at home, or the formal gourmet type meal.
02:11 If anybody makes it through episode four without wanting some duck, I'll be shocked.
02:16 Cowboy!
02:17 This show is entertaining and I want people to leave feeling, "I was entertained."
02:21 This story is an incredible, crazy-ass ride.
02:25 I think the Asian American experience, it's not just the hard and emotionally taxing.
02:30 There's a lot of specialness to it. It's a good time.
