Great story about the glass slipper and Bernadette Peters. The 5.5 size lucite shoe actually fit her perfectly. In the rehearsal, she grabbed my arm and started walking out with me. In the movie, She had to act like it didn’t fit. 😅@DisneyPlus @RHCinderella #Cinderella1997.

The whole truth? I was a ringer to play Cinderella’s Prince at the #HolyFamilyAcademy All-Girls Catholic High School in Bayonne, NJ, while I attended @spprep. I was barely rehearsed into the show, so I consider @RHCinderella my first. There was an obvious shortage of boys. 🤷🏻♂️ @EW.

I am honored and touched to have been a part of something that had such a profound effect on your life (read the thread y’all). What folks may not know yet is that YOU are about to REPRESENT Asians in a badass way, as a series regular in the new @cw_charmed reboot! Awesome!!🔮🔍.
Im sharing this partially because I’d like to know where @paolomontalban has been all these years, but also because hopefully this is the story of another mixed race human out there. Even if this only reaches 3 people, go see this movie. It's making a difference.
