안녕! I think it's been difficult in Hollywood for Asian-American actors, particularly the men, to break free of condescending stereotypical rolls of ninjas/martial arts experts or nerds. I was really impressed by the Walking Dead's decision to cast Steve Yeun in a completely different roll from the traditional Hollywood stereotypes in a major production like that. My question for you is have you experienced any difficulties getting rolls that you attributed to these types of stereotypes and biases and what actors do you look up to or want to emulate in your own work?
