Some of the facts about James Hiroyuki Liao

  • His father is Taiwanese, and his mother is Japanese, but he was born in Brooklyn. His mother wanted all of her kids' first names to be American names. They had their last name Chinese because their father's name was Chinese, so his mom wanted his and his siblings' middle name to be in Japanese. So, all of the kids have Japanese middle names.
  • He was born and raised in New Brooklyn, China Town. Until his teen years, he grew up in the most Italian neighborhood in the most Italian city in America. There were Southern Italian and Southern immigrants. He was surrounded by Italian people growing up, so it was a different experience for him. He also grew up in a very heavily Jewish neighborhood, so a lot of his upbringing was going to Jewish and Italian bakeries.
  • James neither drinks nor smokes. He even doesn't drink coffee because he didn't like the results of those. The person he least admired and wanted to not be like everything he did, so he chose not to do that in life. From the moment he was born, he was deeply affected on a profound level. He has lost people to addiction. As a child, he promised not to do certain things that included drinking and smoking. So, he does not know what it is to be physically intoxicated.
  • The only thing he has ever got replaced for is voice-overs. He got replaced from his first video game, which he never found out until it came out. Then he got one animated show. He got replaced from that also after three or four sessions into it. In his entire career, he had only three, two videogames and one animated show, but he got replaced in two.
  • He was accused of being phony and not being Asian because of his accent. Since he was not born and raised in Asia, his accent is not fluent. When he was 11-years old, a guy threw a beer bottle at him that broke in his leg. He called him a chink and asked him to get F*** out of his country. He was in Shreveport, Louisana, to shoot a movie. On the second day there, he walked out of the Hilton Hotel, where a pickup pulled up. There were three people on the right in the pickup truck with the butt of the shotgun sticking right, and the driver asked him if he was from China. So in that split second, he had to save his life. If he said he is American, that could piss him off, and if he said he is from New York and is an American, that could piss him off too, so he pretended to be fish out of water tourist. He pretended not to understand what he said.
