Kelly Marie Tran was on the verge of quitting acting when she got The Last Jedi role

Entertainment Weekly talks to Kelly Marie Tran about getting the role as Rose Tico – on her lunch break.

“I still don’t really believe it’s real,” Tran says. “Like when I’m driving past the place I used to work, or when I’m driving past the comedy studio where I used to take photos in exchange for classes, or when I’m driving past the yoga studio I used to clean on the weekends. It’s not that far removed from me yet. I get very sentimental over things like that.”
