…But on a more practical note, I believe Wednesdays should be half-days. This could serve as a reminder for people to take some time for themselves. Imagine how much happier people would be at their jobs if every Wednesday was a half-day. They’d probably think, “This is the greatest place in my life. I’m never quitting.”

I had the pleasure to talk to Andrew Lopez, a dynamic and multitalented figure in Hollywood. Best known for his roles as a Filipino and Korean comedian, actor, and writer, Andrew is currently capturing the spotlight in the highly anticipated AppleTV+ comedy series “PLATONIC,” starring alongside renowned actors Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne.

Dubbed one of Hollywood’s “best-kept secrets,” Lopez is not just an actor, but a creative powerhouse. He effortlessly switches hats between writing, directing, producing, and performing, making a substantial mark in the industry. His noteworthy talent was recognized by Vulture in 2022 when they listed him as one of the “Comedians You Should Know.”
