Korean adoptee and New York City-based actor Brian McCormick talks about playing the romantic lead in “A Korean Drama Addict’s Guide to Losing Your Virginity,” a play by Hmong-American playwright May Lee-Yang, that recently had a sold-out run in the Twin Cities. Now in his 30s, McCormick’s story includes a circuitous route to acting despite a path in front him all along, how being a transracial adoptee influences how he approaches roles and casting calls, and his take on the current movement towards more Asian-American representation in Hollywood. There’s late-night run-ins with Prince and he reveals how he and his high school friends first learned about dating and women.
