On this week’s #NYAPodcast we revisit Julie Young's interview with Doug Kim - former World Series poker player now turned actor - also joined by co-host Noah Oh. Doug Kim majored in economics, mostly in order to avoid becoming a doctor, but spent a lot of his time during school studying the game of poker. The studying paid off when he finished in seventh place in the 2006 World Series of Poker, being the youngest player at the time to ever make the final table at the main event. He eventually transitioned to pursue his dream of becoming an actor, but after experiencing so many obstacles as a Korean American actor, Doug decided to just produce and write his own series about his life called Just Doug on Facebook - a show made possible with his poker earnings.
