For “Interior Chinatown” star Jimmy O. Yang, playing an invisible Chinatown extra in the new series hit close to home. That’s because one of Yang’s first roles was “Chinese Teenager #1.”

The irony helped him relate to his character, Willis Wu, and plays out in the series about a struggling Chinatown waiter who is pulled into investigating his brother’s disappearance, airing on Hulu on Tuesday.

“Interior Chinatown,” based on the National Book Award-winning novel of the same name by Charles Yu, is technically a show within a show. The leads — Yang, Chloe Bennet and Ronny Chieng — play “Chinatown” extras within a police procedural called “Black and White.” They are largely ignored by everyone in the procedural until the lights fade and the cameras go away, bringing viewers back to the characters’ Chinatown realities.

Yang appreciates how the show lifts the curtain on the lives of sidelined characters, and how Chinatown is a metaphor for how he says America flattens certain communities. “We’re shown the facades, the Chinese words, the kitschy restaurants, but what you don’t usually see is behind the scenes,” he said.
