77 - Douglas Jung - Half Asian, Fully Driven – Changing the Face of Verticals...

In today’s episode, I sit down with the talented actor Douglas
Jung to talk about his journey and experiences in the world of
vertical storytelling





Almost by chance, Douglas landed his first vertical role in 2023
through a friend—and he’s been hooked ever since. Fast forward to
today, he’s already contributed his acting skills to over 40
verticals!





We also dive into a topic close to his heart: diversity
in casting
As a half-Asian actor, Douglas shares his wish to see more
opportunities for people with diverse cultural backgrounds to
land leading roles. Right now, he sees promising progress
especially on platforms like CandyJar





Music plays a huge role in his creative process
 From powerful soundtracks to carefully curated playlists,
Douglas uses music to fully immerse himself in his characters and
set the right emotional tone.


We also talk dreams and ambitions
 Shooting in Europe is high on his list, and he’s excited
about exploring Sci-Fi roles to push the
boundaries of the vertical space


And here’s a fun tip



Want to leave Douglas completely speechless? Just tell him you’ve
never seen Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or James Bond… trust me,
it works!





A fun, honest, and inspiring conversation with a genuinely great
person—this is one episode you don’t want to miss!
