What is Simu Liu Even Doing?

This week, Kyle hosts award-winning actor, best-selling author, UNICEF Ambassador & producer Simu Liu, who regales us with tales of being a stock photo legend, why he pursued acting over accounting, how he broke into Hollywood & navigates the industry, teenage rebellion & popstar aspirations, powerful nudges from extraordinary people, and what it was like making history as the first Asian Marvel superhero. Kyle gets the inside scoop on Simu’s experiences acting & producing THE COPENHAGEN TEST (out December 27 on Peacock) and working with Greta Gerwig on BARBIE before the masks & capes come out for a captivating game called, “Simu and His Superhero Sidekick.”
