ItΓÇÖs Main Event Monday DivaGals! We were stoked to spend some time with George Young, star of The CWΓÇÖs new drama Containment. He plays Dr. Victor Cannerts, whoΓÇÖs grappling with a world that been infected with a new virus that has no rate of survival ΓÇô and can be passed from person to person within six ft. of one another!

George┬áexplained in this medical catastrophe, the key to survival is self containment. If you think youΓÇÖre infected, you should quarantine yourself,ΓÇ¥ he shares of the imaginary disease. ΓÇ£ThereΓÇÖs a 48-hour incubation period, so you wait it out.ΓÇ¥ If you donΓÇÖt show any┬ásymptoms, you are in the clear.

Luckily, this is JUST a fictional drama. And thatΓÇÖs a good thing, since George is about to celebrate his first anniversary with his lovely wife Janet Hsieh on Jan.┬á22. ΓÇ£SheΓÇÖs a travel host … I just saw her in Taiwan,ΓÇ¥ George shared with us. ΓÇ£We got married in┬áAntarctica of all places. And we filmed the show around the whole thing. WeΓÇÖre celebrating our anniversary by going to Zanzibar [East Africa]. WeΓÇÖre doing an A-Z sort of thing.ΓÇ¥ Too cute!

If youΓÇÖre wondering about GeorgeΓÇÖs background, he has Chinese and Greek roots.

His dad is Malaysian.┬áΓÇ£We have this Chinese New Year thatΓÇÖs happening on the fifth of February. Me and my dad, we do a tea ceremony which is very traditional.ΓÇ¥

As for George’s┬ámom, ΓÇ£I eat a lot of Greek food with her and my grandmother — my┬áyiayia, which is Greek for grandmother,ΓÇ¥ he explained. ΓÇ£And IΓÇÖll watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding too, as all Greeks should.ΓÇ¥

Watch George battle the epidemic in Containment, coming to The CW this spring.
