“I think it’s important that just because we don’t want to fit into these stereotypes doesn’t mean that Asian people can’t be smart on TV,' lead actor Peyton Elizabeth Lee said.
More than three decades after Neil Patrick Harris rose to fame on the hit ABC medical drama “Doogie Howser, M.D.,” Peyton Elizabeth Lee has stepped into the lead role of a wunderkind physician in the reimagined Disney+ series “Doogie Kameāloha, M.D.”
“I remember really feeling like [it was] a light at the end of the tunnel,” Lee, 17, told NBC Asian America. “This was the first thing that I had been super excited about and inspired by in a long time.
“I think I have a very unique insight into what it is like to be a young person in a professional environment and having these adult expectations and responsibilities being placed on you,” Lee said. “When is it the time to just be an adult, show up to work and meet everyone on their level? And when is it time to create space and be a kid? Getting to bring that part of my experience to this show, I think, adds a lot of authenticity.
