I’m a Cali kid and have always been a Lakers fan, since back in the days of Magic. Last night it seemed like the whole town was glued to a tv to watch one of the sickest game 7′s ever. I watched the whole series from a hotel room in Kansas while shooting a flick for the last week or so, but it was so great to get home to catch the last game. I’m so glad they won, LA would be just horrible to walk around all summer in LA if we had lost the finals to Boston! But as it turns out, we won again, back to back champions… feels like its going to be a great summer. Much love to the Lakers. Enjoy a song from the Basco Bros. “I<3LA"

Dante Basco
One time leader of the Lost Boys & Prince of the Fire Nation...
Actor/Writer/Poet/Producer
With a career spanning over two and a half decades, DANTE BASCO is a Hollywood actor who has become a cult classic and pioneering figure in Asian American cinema. He was first introduced in Steven Spielberg's fairytale movie Hook, as "Rufio", the leader of the Lost Boys. He quickly jumped to leading roles like Newline's Take the Lead, opposite Antonio Banderas, and The Debut, which became the voice of a Filipino American generation. 20th Century Fox executives were so mesmerized by the uniqueness of Dante's look and ability that they gave him a development deal for his own series and he starred in a pilot for Touchstone/ABC, The Chang Family Saves the World, written and produced by John Ridley and directed by Paris Barclay. Ever versatile, he's "Jake Long" in Disney's animated series American Dragon: Jake Long as well as "Prince Zuko" in Nickelodeon's phenomenal hit, Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Dante is the founder of one of the largest weekly poetry venue in the country, "Da Poetry Lounge" in Los Angeles and he has also shared his spoken word poetry on Russell Simmons' HBO Def Poetry Jam. He has also begun writing and producing his own features with his production company Kinetic Films, including Hang Loose, a (hilarious buddy) comedy with YouTube sensation KevJumba, winning the 2012 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival Special Jury Prizes for "Best Actor" and "Best Newcomer" respectively.
From breakdancing in the streets of San Francisco to starring in movies on the silver screen, Dante Basco has become one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood and truly an Asian American icon.
