"The Brothers Sun" star Sam Song Li has opened up about his thoughts on being part of the Netflix show's all-Asian cast, especially as it marks his first stint as a series regular. About his role: Li, 27, plays Bruce Sun, whose life is turned upside down after his older brother, Charles Sun (Justin Chien), travels to Los Angeles to protect him and their mother, Eileen (Michelle Yeoh), following the assassination of their triad leader father in Taipei. What he's saying: Speaking to Deadline, Li expressed high hopes for the critically acclaimed Netflix series, declaring that the show will be "part of the history of Asian American cinema.”
