Episode Thirty-Eight: Sachin Sahel
Sachin Sahel’s first name means “truth” in Hindi, and he drops a helluva lot of “sachin”/truth in this special episode of the YVR Screen Scene Podcast. Sachin has played Dr. Eric Jackson on The 100 since its first episode. He grew up nerdy and brown in Edmonton, Alberta, loving Superman and building himself up whenever bullies tried to tear him down (which they did, a lot). In this at once poignant and uproarious episode, Sachin speaks with Sabrina Furminger about loving Superman, how positivity is a muscle, why he’s done running from his culture, how The 100 responds to hopelessness in the cultural zeitgeist, and his efforts to battle toxicity in fandom.
