Asian Actors Can Play Any Hollywood Role, And The Incredible SeeAsAmStar Campaign Proves It
When it came to deciding which Asian-American actors to feature, William looked for stars who could tick off at least two of the following criteria: cult following, box office success, critical acclaim, and leading role experience.
"I wanted to pick films and characters that showed the breadth of the human condition," he added."It was important to me that viewers would be able to see Asian faces on characters that are considered brave and courageous, but also flawed and messy. Because that's the reality of our experience."There's no doubt that John, Constance, Steven, and Arden are long overdue for leading Hollywood roles.
As for why campaigns like #SeeAsAmStar and #StarringJonCho mean so much to William, he pointed to Hollywood's ongoing history of stereotyping and pigeonholing Asian characters."Growing up, the conversation about Asian Hollywood leads has always been theoretical for me," William recalled."It was always discussed in the abstract, as an idea instead of as a reality," William continued.
