Aloha friends! 🌟 Thanks for joining us for another episode of the Moana Nui Podcast, live from BlerDCon! This time, we're thrilled to chat with the talented J Lee, best known for his role on the groundbreaking show, The Orville. We dive into what it's like being part of a series that champions diversity and complexity, and how he manages to keep it real.

He shares hilarious stories from his first gig on American Dad to his upcoming projects like "Two Black Dudes" and "Jacob Beats Up Nate." And if you're a music buff, don't miss Jʻs take on classical influences and his eclectic playlist that's got everything from Beethoven to rain sounds.

We also get personal, touching on mental health in the entertainment industry and the evolution of Jʻs creative process over the years. Whether you're a fan of his acting, writing, or just his infectious humor, this episode is packed with insights and laughs.
