Manila-born comedian Nico Santos plays Nick's second cousin.
Yup, there are actually two Filipinos in the cast of Crazy Rich Asians. Apart from the highly publicized appearance of Kris Aquino, Filipino comedian Nico Santos plays Nick's scene-stealing cousin, Oliver. In an interview with SPOT.ph, he shares what it was like to bond with the cast: "We really bonded right away. It was instant chemistry with all of us. It felt like you were hanging out with all your cool cousins that you hadn't seen in a while. That's what it felt like. We ate dim sum every day, we sang karaoke every night. We partied when we weren't working. It was just a really amazing experience."
