From Rufio to Zuko: Fire Nation Edition by Dante Basco

4.0
Dante Basco reflects on his career in From Rufio to Zuko. In this short autobiography, he reflects on his childhood, his break-out role of Rufio as well as on Prince Zuko. And also some poems, because Basco is also a poet.
I am most familiar with Basco as the voice of Prince Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender (hence why I had to have the Fire Nation edition), but I learnt a lot about him in this book. About his struggles as an Asian actor and how he happened to get these roles that pass the test of time. If anything, this book made me excited to watch Dante Basco's other works I'm not familiar with.
I would recommend From Rufio to Zuko to anyone who loves Basco's work and/or wants to learn more about Hollywood from an Asian, and more specifically a Filipino-American, perspective.
