Usually, I get cast in a role and they make it Filipino because I\u2019m Filipino. But, this time, it was written as Filipino. I get to speak Tagalog!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember talking to the showrunner, Ted Humphrey, and I wanted to speak Tagalog but also be able to speak completely unaccented English. He completely was on board with that, which I really appreciated. Plus, I loved working with Neve Campbell and Jamie McShane,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Netflix series also features other Filipino talents including Katrina Rosita as Tanya Cruz and Jeff Francisco as Alvin Aquino. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For us, Asian Americans, especially for Filipinos, we got to keep the foot on the gas pedal. Things are starting to open up and people are finally starting to get to know who Filipinos are. We&#8217;re the second largest Asian American community, yet the least represented in the media,&#8221; pointed out in the interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Lincoln Lawyer\u2019 is a 10-episode legal drama that premiered on Netflix last May 13.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the trailer here:<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"au06yHMuMGc\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Lincoln Lawyer | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/au06yHMuMGc?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Photo Credit: www.twitter.com\/MrReggieLee, www.instagram.com\/katrinarosita\/, www.instagram.com\/jeffvfrancisco\/<\/p>\n<p>Source: www.goldenglobes.com\/articles\/actor-reggie-lee-our-stories-are-just-human-vibrant-and-worthy-being-told, www.imdb.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reggie Lee, a Filipino-American Hollywood actor, will star alongside two other Filipino actors in the Netflix series &#8220;The Lincoln Lawyer.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":216764,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19265],"tags":[7863],"class_list":["post-216765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-great-filipino-story","tag-social"],"zyndk8_nxtgen_metadata":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=216765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/216764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=216765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=216765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=216765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
