Thanks to Philomina for the heads up.
Dec 14, 2012 | Osric Chau became part of the "Supernatural"-universe as the young prophet Kevin Tran. In this interview he talks about how he almost missed the casting for the role, how he feels about the fan base and how he landed the part in Wu-Tang Clan rapper RZA's directorial debut "The Man with the Iron Fists".
1. How did you get into acting?
My mom put me in as many different classes as she could when I was young. She stumbled upon an acting teacher and I ended up taking part in that class. One day my teacher heard about a casting call looking for 8 year old kids and being that there weren't many of them she asked my mom if she could take me in. I did well enough to be 2nd choice and so my teacher introduced me to her agency and I'm still with them to this day.
2. How did the casting for the part of Kevin go? Did you know the character were to come back in season 8?
The casting was such a last minute thing. I was only in Vancouver for a week and was almost about to miss it because I had to rush back to LA for another audition and my flight was already booked before the audition. After speaking with my agent, I changed the flight, made both auditions and ended up booking both roles. That was a crazy week. I did not know that I was coming back till we finished season 7, and I am ever so grateful that I am.
3. You are trained in martial arts. Is there anything in terms of stunts you would love to do on "Supernatural"?
I would love to do an action sequence. Physical acting is my favorite. Another chase scene would be fun with some obstacles. Or maybe we can do a body swap episode where I swap with Dean. Just think of how fast and effective he could be with a smaller body and his battle experience!
