'The Ethnicity Tag' is an exclusive web series from Star2 and TheStarTV that features Malaysians with multi-ethnic roots tracing back their ancestry and answering seven questions about their heritage. Each person is asked to reveal secrets about their history, traditions and the characteristics that shape their Malaysianness. Gavin has been part of the Malaysian entertainment scene since the 1990s. His theatre credits include The Importance Of Being Ernest and Hamlet. He was Director-in-Residence at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre from 2005 to 2008, and was given the National Arts Award for Directing in 2007. Gavin's book, How I Made My First Movie (Or, A Decade Of Favours), is a part memoir, part production log, part how-to guide that chronicles the making of his 2014 film, Take Me To Dinner.
