Who Are Ian Anthony Dale Parents?

He said, “I’m so happy that I grew up in Minnesota, that I grew up in the Midwest because you just have a different perspective on things. When you’re working in this industry that isn’t always friendly and genuine, it’s so nice to have my roots grounded in the Midwest. I always remember to be genuine. No matter what environment you’re in, just try to set the example of being nice to everybody and respecting everybody. I wish there was more of that naturally in our industry.”

On the other hand, speaking about his parents, Ian had said, “I speak a skoshe Japanese, a little bit… My mom is Japanese. She tried teaching my sister and I when we were really little… It was really hard to catch. As an adult I’ve taken private lessons to try to pick up the language. It’s really hard… [My mother] Olga [has] a tough German lady’s name and she’s this cute little Japanese woman.”

He concluded, “I think she fits it in demeanor and toughness and I think she’s proud of it, too… I was one of the only people of color at my grade school and also my high school… my brothers are all white. We all share the same father but different mothers.”

Now he has established a career with longevity. As of 2022, some of his notable works are Charmed, Surface, Day Break, The Event, Mortal Combat: Legacy, Murder in the First, Hawaii Five-0, The Walking Dead, and All Rise among others.
