Hulu's PEN15 is making headlines already for its quirky, bluntly honest take on the indignities of middle school. Although the two lead characters, Maya and Anna, are portrayed by adult women (creators Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle), the rest of the teen and tween-aged cast is played by actual young actors. Among the potential breakout stars is Dallas Liu, who's getting plenty of attention but probably doesn't quite look familiar to most viewers.
Liu portrays Shuji Ishii-Peters, Maya's older brother. The young actor made his film debut in the 2010 Japanese-American film Tekken. Based on a video game, the martial arts action movie follows a young fighter, Jin Kazama, as he enters a fighting tournament in hopes of avenging his late mother and getting revenge on his father and grandfather. Liu played Jin as an 11-year-old boy in some scenes.

To mark the home entertainment release (or perhaps we should say potential invasion of your Yuletide homes) of Big Ass Spider, HeyUGuys caught up with insect fighting duo Greg Grunberg and Lombardo Boyar.
We spoke about the advantages of low budget films, a change in name from ‘Mega’ to ‘Big Ass’, throwing itself back to past films of a similar ilk, offering the audience a good fun ride for which Greg’s sons gave it the thumbs up, and emergency advice on how to tackle a Big Ass Spider.
How did you become involved in the project?
Lombardo Boyar: Greg Grunberg called me one afternoon. I get this call from Greg saying, “Hey man, I’m sitting here with this director Mike Mendez, and I’m doing this crazy spider movie and I want you to be in it with me.” He’s so excited I’m like, “Slow down,...
