Earlier this month, DORKAHOLICS had the honor and pleasure of speaking with actor-slash-voice-actor-slash-dancer Dante Basco, best known to our dorks for his roles as Prince Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender, the titular character of Disney’s American Dragon: Jake Long, and Rufio in Hook (1991).

Dante shared with us what is like being an Asian-American with an early career spanning from the 90s working in present-day Hollywood, his plans and aspirations for the future, the heroes and role models he had growing up, and some of his fellow Asian-Americans artists that he has seen leading the way for better representation and diversity in mainstream art.

I'm a self-proclaimed "professional dork." I've always been drawn to the creative and imaginative worlds found in comic books, video games, and other forms of entertainment, and I believe that these stories and characters have the power to inspire and bring people together. Through Dorkaholics, I've had the opportunity to attend conventions, interview some of my favorite artists and creators, and connect with a community of like-minded individuals who share my passion for all things dorky. When I'm not writing about the latest pop culture trends, you can usually find me playing video games, reading comic books, or exploring new fandoms. I'm thrilled to be able to share my love of pop culture with the world through Dorkaholics, and I hope to continue to inspire and entertain fellow dorks for years to come.
