Tia Carrere is a Filipino actress and singer who won the world’s hearts most notably for her role as Cassandra Wong in Wayne’s World. Excited to “finally play Filipino,” Tia breaks down what it means for her to play Tita Teresa, a Filipino character that speaks Tagalog. Just one of the many legendary Filipino American entertainers featured in the film, Tia was happy to lend her talent to a movie that will go down in history. Jo Koy’s new movie Easter Sunday is playing at a theater near you!
