Stephanie Hsu is a newly minted Oscar nominee\u2014one of 11 historic nods for \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once,\u201d the madcap multiverse epic with a primarily AAPI cast. But for the NYU Tisch graduate, this recognition from the Academy is far more than a personal milestone. \n\n\u201cEver since I was coming up in New York, I was taught that anytime you have a voice, you have to use it for good,\u201d she says. \u201cThat doesn't mean the art has to be wholesome. But you have to really know why the story is being told. Especially because I was often one of so few people who looked like me who got in through the door, I always felt like every opportunity was an opportunity to bring ten other people alongside me\u2026 I will continue, always, to carry the responsibility and the beautiful chance to bring other people into the fold. I'm very humbled that I get to be one of the people who does that.\u201d\n\nOn this episode of In the Envelope: The Actor\u2019s Podcast, Hsu takes us through the journey that got her here\u2014from experimental theater in New York to originating Broadway roles and traversing different dimensions in \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once.\u201d\n---\nBackstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
