Derek Luh of Gen V

This week, Tommy is joined by the very talented actor Derek Luh! Derek is best known for his role in Amazon Prime’s hit series, Gen V which is a spinoff to the fan-favorite series The Boys, and Season 2 is out right now. Gen V explores the lives of hormonal and competitive young adult superheroes as they put physical, sexual and moral boundaries to the test at America’s only college, exclusively for superheroes. Today, Derek opens up about if he feels the importance/pressure of playing a role that means so much to so many, if he wants Jordan and Marie to be endgame, what he has most learned about himself through playing Jordan, a dream storyline for his character in future seasons, how the cast felt the beloved Chance Perdomo with them all season long, what’s on his Jordan playlist to help him get into character, what he hopes for Jordan in the end, if he’s thought about a superhero name, why a Jordan vs Homelander face-off would be epic, if he’s able to take in all of his success without worrying about what’s next, how his spirituality helps him stay grounded, a very personal milestone in his life that he is proud of, and so much more.
