A few things you should know about the ChineseCanadian actor starring in the Lucy Hale supernatural thriller.
1 He was in a movie with an Oscar-nominated actress.
Before Truth or Dare, where Hayden Szeto plays one of Lucy Hale’s college chums deceived into playing the titular party game with a mystical nasty twist, he earned rave reviews in the 2016 coming-of-age comedy The Edge of Seventeen as the socially-anxious boyfriend of Hailee Steinfeld’s emo teen. The part of Korean-American high schooler Erwin Kim who gets the girl was a game-changer, says Szeto, 32, on the phone from LA. “Erwin [was depicted as a real person and he didn’t play into the stereotypical Hollywood trope]… He was a very fleshed-out character and he could’ve been of any ethnicity. [Playing him] opened up a lot of doors for me because it provided the platform to showcase my ability to carry a prominent character in a movie.”
2 He has a funny story about auditioning for Truth or Dare.
