I enjoy him being the face of handsome, attractive Asian men able to lead a series. The fact that Jacinto is so smart to know how to portray Jason as a dimwitted, sexy, sweet-hearted character who is a rootable love interest says so much! He's able to tap into so many aspects and portray that authentically.

@scattysafari7742 4 жыл бұрын

I love him too. Asian men are rarely depicted as hotties, which is a shame as so many are gorgeous. And I love how he isn't a stereotype. His ethnicity is mentioned, but it doesn't define him. He's not the typical computer nerd or IT guy. Great funny chr& he plays him so well.

I too wanted to come here to see whether he can string two words together, as the guy said. Of course he can and I obviously expected he could, but I'm also surprised to hear that his voiceprint resembles that of the Jason character more than I imagined. I don't know, I guess I almost expected a more Canadian, almost British-y accent.
