1. SOUNDBITE (English) Simu Liu, actor – on advice from Ian McKellen:
“I did a little movie called ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ last fall, and I was - I remember I was on set with Ian McKellen and just talking about stage, and it was right around the time where I was thinking of, you know, maybe it was time to consider doing something on Broadway. And he was like, yeah, you know, he's - the thing that he said to me that really resonated was like, 'You'd be surprised how little you have to do. Don't try to do too much. Let the writing carry you and really serve the text. That’s what it comes down to.' And that’s what I carry with me.”
