Hello everyone, I'm Jinx Monsoon, and welcome to a brand new episode of High Jinx with me,

Jinx Monsoon. Today might be one of my favorite episodes. I've had so many lovely episodes

with really wonderful people lately, but today is something really special. Mason Alexander Park

is a rising star on stage, in television. I'm sure if they're not already starring in films,

it's not far away for them. They are an incredibly talented, really wonderful individual,

and this is our first time ever speaking to each other with our voices. We've been messaging

on Instagram like all the cool kids do, but what makes today so special is Mason Alexander Park,

and I, for all intents and purposes, on paper, just as far as a casting director is concerned,

we're the same person. And it's a really lovely conversation we have about the two of us

finding our place in the industry and having room to celebrate one another rather than feel

competitive with one another. Really, it's all about me coming to terms with a young hot

rising star coming from my gigs. No, I'm joking. It's a really wonderful episode. I'm really

excited for you to hear it, so buckle up, hunker down, and sink your teeth into some brand new.

actor Mason Alexander Park. Hi, Mason. Hi, Jinks. Okay, now first and foremost, I'm so glad we're

finally speaking to each other. It feels, I don't know when I first like, when you first like

entered my hemisphere, but ever since then, it's just like, I see you everywhere. How

candid may I be with you in this moment? As candid as you want. Okay, I think this, I hope this

comes off as like, I compliment, and I hope that you hear it with the sincerity that I'm going to
