What One Actor’s Career Tells Us About Asian Representation in Hollywood - The New York Times

American representation in Hollywood.Here’s our conversation, lightly edited for length and clarity: First, can you tell me a bit about how you got into acting? I was in junior high school — at Audubon Junior High School. I was put into a drama class in eighth grade.I wrote it down because I had to fill out a third elective. I stayed in it and I loved it.By the time I graduated from junior high, I had been in about six full shows — “Flower Drum Song,” “Bells Are Ringing” — big, big musicals.The thing was, the first show I did was “Flower Drum Song,” and my “mother” was Hispanic, my “father” was black, my “aunt” was white, my “girlfriend” was Asian, but it all seemed normal to me.What about in college?When I was in school, I thought I was going to be a dentist or something, you know, very Asian responsible — like a good, solid job.Then between my sophomore and junior year, I got cast in “Farewell to Manzanar,” which at the time was a really big NBC movie of the week, and all of a sudden, I was getting paid to work with these professional actors.Eventually I went to U.C.L.A. and graduated with a degree in theater. So at the age of 20 was when I first started acting professionally, and I’ve been very fortunate in that for about the last 44 years, it’s all I’ve really done.I’m guessing the kinds of parts you were going out for in the beginning were written specifically for Asian men, and you may have been asked to do an accent or play to a stereotype. How did you feel about roles like that? As long as it wasn’t offensive, I figured, well, there are people who speak with accents, so if that’s what I have to play. … But if it was a clear caricature and a joke, because the person spoke so poorly, then that was offensive.In the beginning, we’d always wait for the Chinatown shows, because every TV show, out of the 22 episodes in the season, there was always one in Chinatown. Or we’d wait for some kind of war show. I’ve played a Japanese soldier, a Korean soldier, a Vietnamese soldier.But it’s just that’s all there really was then. I guess you just kept hoping that something better was going to come along. Did you ever say, “I just want to be the lead dude”?Of course that’s what I wanted to do. But I guess I was never proactive in creating my own stuff.There was an outlet like the East West Players, so I got to do plays where I was the lead or I had the romantic interest.Do you think that’s changing? Yeah, and I think it’s because Asian-Americans are having a bigger presence in society and in the business. That’s where it starts. It’s got to be written.Did you feel that in the reception to “Always Be My Maybe”? How did you approach that role differently?I’ll tell you, I give all the credit to Ali, Randall and Michael Golamco. And also a class="css-1g7... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/02/us/james-saito-asian-representation-hollywood.html

The database allows users to filter results by plant type, resources and bird species they attract.Regional Audubon experts hand-select the "best results" for each. In Fremont, some of the best flowers to grow this season include black sage, blue elderberry and California figwort.
