With ‘Utopia Falls’, Hulu presented us the first-ever sci-fi musical series, which premiered on February 14. Using the power of music, RT Throne’s series tries to navigate socially relevant issues, while skilfully retaining the entertainment chops.

Apart from the mind-boggling visuals and compelling plot, ‘Utopia Falls’ has gained recognition for its interesting and highly energetic cast of characters.

Mickeey Nguyen, who essays Mags on ‘Utopia Falls’ in an exclusive interview with MEA WorldWide (MEAWW) spoke at length about his experience working in Throne's series and revealed several interesting details.

Calling his audition for ‘Utopia Falls’ a "crazy experience", Nguyen said that when he received a callback he was 'through the roof' as he wasn’t expecting much from the self-tape that he sent out for his auditions.

Much to his surprise, Throne was nothing but impressed on seeing his tape. “RT, the director, later told me during production that it was the most hilarious, memorable audition he has ever witnessed and it was painful for him to keep his professional composure at the time of casting,” he told MEAWW.

Mags is undeniably one of the most fun-filled characters on ‘Utopia Falls’. Reflecting on his role in the series, Nguyen explained, “He is such a light and with a series like 'Utopia Falls' you need someone like Mags to uplift the story because you’re already in for a wild ride. He’s bright, colorful and such a caring person to those around him.”

“He’s made to be such a comedic person, but he digs so much deeper than that. I feel like you’ll really see him blossom into so much more. He offers the viewers an everlasting friendship. He can be everyone’s best friend because he’s someone that you can count on to shine a light in every dark corner of the room. You’ll definitely share a lot of laughs with him and enjoy getting to know Mags,” he further added.

However, Nguyen concluded saying, although Mags was made to be such a jokester, the role was definitely challenging because he had to "balance the humor of Mags and the tone of ‘Utopia Falls’."
