With his new Netflix film “Always Be My Maybe,” Randall Park has become a full-fledged rom-com leading man. But when he was starting out, the industry didn’t see him that way. “I came from an Asian-American studies background. I wanted to be an actor because of that,” he recalled to SalonTV’s Mary Elizabeth Williams on “Salon Talks.” “I wanted to go out there and represent. I didn’t realize how little power I’d have in that at the beginning.” Five years later, Park says, he’s at a place where he can tell the stories he wants to tell in his own voice, including a longtime passion project he wrote with and co-stars in with Ali Wong, “Always Be My Maybe,” now on Netflix. --- About “Salon Talks” Hosted by Salon journalists, “Salon Talks” episodes offer a fresh take on the long-form interview format, and a much-needed break from the partisan political talking heads that have come to dominate the genre. “Salon Talks” is a destination for information through conversation.
