Believe it or not there are more than 4 Asian actors working in Hollywood
A trend I’ve started noticing on Twitter over the past year is that whenever a project is announced starring Simu Liu, you will find the comments and quote tweets full of people saying it should be Manny Jacinto. This has always made me uncomfortable. It feels like people not only see Asian actors as interchangeable and believe there can only be one token Asian working.
In addition to people constantly doing this with Manny Jacinto, I often see Steven Yeun and Henry Golding mention. And when the person wants to be ~different~ they mention Dev Patel. Well believe it or not, those five are not the only actors working in Hollywood so here are some other Asian actors who are not them and a film or show of theirs you can stream.
