Why doesn't the second son, who is new here, play much?

The plot reason. The Newcomer is a sitcom directed by Lynn Shelton, Max Winkler and others. In this play, the second son is played by Forrest Wheeler. Because the second son quickly adapted to the local life and his charm was very popular at school, he appeared less in the plot, while the eldest son was excluded from the culture of American white families, and there were more stories, so the plot was richer. The play is based on Eddie Huang's memoir "I'm New here".
