Albert Tsai immediately stole Americans' hearts when he first appeared on ABC's short-lived comedy "Trophy Wife" in 2013. Despite the show's cancellation, the adorable actor quickly found work recurring on "Fresh Off the Boat" and booking guest spots on USA Network's "Benched" and TVLand's "Hot in Cleveland."
The latter is where Tsai first worked with Ken Jeong, who now plays his TV dad on the ABC sitcom "Dr. Ken." The two actors both starred in the live episode of "Hot in Cleveland," which also featured Dr. Ken co-star Dave Foley. Later on, Jeong sent Tsai a script for the role of Dave in his new comedy series.
"I read [the script] and I liked it and I was excited to be back on ABC and working with Ken again," the 11-year-old actor told Headlines & Global News in an exclusive interview.

Single-Camera or Multi-Camera Comedy - Tsai Loves It All
"Dr. Ken" is the first series-regular role for Tsai on a multi-camera sitcom, which films in front a live studio audience. But filming in front of an audience doesn't make him nervous as much as it gives him an energy boost - "like an adrenaline rush," he said.
On "Trophy Wife," a single-camera comedy, the cast would split their time between on-location shots and filming on stages.
