It is clear that the SWAT suit fits Lim much better than any business suit he had worn to the office. The SWAT attire speaks volumes for Lim, “I put that SWAT gear on and feel like a super hero, like I could do stuff that normally I wouldn’t be able to. I pay homage to the guys who really do it and put their lives on the line everyday.” The symbol- ism behind the SWAT outfit is incredibly meaningful to Lim, although he does agree that beat- ing a well-tailored suit is nearly impossible. Finding a more challenging career may have been Lim’s main reason for giving acting a try, but it definitely was not the only! When it comes to finding your place in the world, everyone has doubts. Lim says that looking back, “this was the best decision I ever made because I absolutely love what I do.” Lim found the challenge he was look- ing for in his career in an industry completely opposite of where he began in finances. He took the risk and is now an Asian-Amer- ican actor on a hit network TV show, acting as a role model for diversity – an accomplishment worth recognizing! Now that is a true 21st century glow up!
