Jamie Chung has had quite the journey to get where she is. Whether you know her from Big Hero 6, Lovecraft Country, or The Real World, Jamie has continuously found new levels of success. But this begs the question on everyone’s mind: can she toast a marshmallow? Join Campfire Convos host James Palmer as he checks in with this incredible actor.
She discusses her outdoors experience, from her Bay Area roots and Korean Catholic Summer Camp to her incredible Halloween wedding at El Capitan. Not to mention a recent disastrous camping expedition to the Angeles Islands of Santa Catalina and San Clemente.
Later, Jamie takes us through how a fortuitous table read of Moana landed her a role in Big Hero 6. As she continues to challenge herself as an actor, Jamie learns more about her family roots. This leads to profound reflections on the importance of representation and new perspectives in storytelling and Hollywood.
From there to here, Jamie Chung has done it her own way. We had an absolute blast exploring her Sunnier Side on this episode of Campfire Convos.
