-These people are very nice. -They are very nice.

-They're very, very nice people. -Thank you.

-Um, welcome to the show. -Yes, thank you for having me.

and you've played such a wide berth of roles.

You play villains. You play... You play good guys.

You-you play, like, extreme characters, like in Mr. Robot.

Like, one of the, like, the baddest people

and one of the most complicated characters.

-Yes. -Is this... Is this a big departure for you?

to his-his... his sweet but troubled daughter.

And it's also a comedy in a way that it's refreshing for me,

because I've been doing a lot of serious stuff.

I kind rediscovered... After I left Law & Order: SVU,

-which I was on for 11 years, I-I rediscov... -Uh-huh.

Um, I rediscovered that I was a character actor,

and then I really started really getting into, like,

re-reacquainting myself with that super creative,

and it was kind of the perfect thing for me

to kind of, uh, stretch different muscles,

comedy muscles that I hadn't used in-in decades

and, um, kind of, uh, a kind of a sweetness,

a warm quality, a-a family kind of quality,

-which I like. Which I really like. -Right.

The show has a really beautiful story line and arc to it

but then it's not, like, about them being Asian.

And then they have a life, and they have a story.

And-and people... I don't know if people really understand

how rare that is for us, for my community,

For us to have a-a family that's not there

that-that it is a kind of meaningful thing

to see a family that's just being a family

-and having family issues that are not really... -Yes.

-Yes. -So, therefore, it's kind of even more universal

And-and it's nice that way. I mean, we really...

I was in Margaret Cho's show in the '90s.

-That was All-American Girl. -That-that was... I think that

-was the first Asian family. -First Asian American family.

When I compare the experience that I had on Margaret's show,

and not for any reasons that were related to Margaret

-and Margaret's stardom or talent. -Right.

and Margaret was kind of, in some ways, shoehorned

into a kind of corporate idea of what Margaret could be.

And Awkwafina is allowed to really do her thing.

and surround herself with many women writers

and with people of color as well as directors.

-Mm-hmm. -And it... I think it shows in the final product.

We don't... we don't flinch about all of the-the things

or related to being Asian because they're all

-It does. Really does. -Right. It's interesting,

"We have no problem laughing at ourselves,

-but laugh with us, not at us." -Yes, absolutely.

-Which... -And there was... there was a history of us

-being laughed at or derided or whatever that took us... -Yes.

to even teach people that there's a difference.

You know, the difference between those two things.

You have a career that-that is now really...
