'Beef' star Ali Wong spoke to Newsweek about playing Amy Lau in the Netflix show, and why she barely recognized herself in the road rage drama.
"I think the challenge of it was just really fulfilling," Wong told"So I'm looking back on the footage and the episodes and being like, 'wow, who is that person?' When I see myself, it's pretty mystifying and satisfying at the same time."
"But, I was like 'OK, I think you can do that.' I'm still really surprised with all of it and I'm really happy I did it. It was an incredible experience." "I would not say cathartic, like I hear that word, and I'm like, 'no, not that one.' I mean, for sure challenging to play," she said."To do the actual work and spend time with Sonny, and Steven, and [director] Jake Schreier, and the rest of the cast, that was certainly a beautiful, super fun experience.
"But, going through that it felt interesting cause I just felt myself so trapped in my subjective reality and was projecting so many assumptions onto this other person, and I assume he was projecting a lot of things onto me, and that was the nugget."
