It takes time for brown people and people of different ethnicities to get into the Hollywood world, which is predominantly Caucasian and African American.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hollywood can be a really tough environment for anyone trying to make a living. Unfortunately for actors of color, namely Asian Americans, opportunities have been and remain substantially limited. One place this is not the case is on 'Hawaii Five-0,' where we have three Asian American series regulars and a landscape rich with diversity.
What does it mean to be too black for Hollywood? It's self-explanatory. Hollywood has certain kinds of blacks that they like.
Asian Americans haven't had as many opportunities as other people to build their careers in Hollywood, just because there hasn't been that much of an interest, especially in Asian American males.
Making African American films are hard in Hollywood. We need to rely on a support network and bring more cohesion to different filmmakers, actors, producers etc. It's a very difficult business. There aren't a lot of Africans Americans or people of color in high positions in Hollywood that we can green-light films.
Our culture today that we live in is getting so diverse, yet in Hollywood, there's not a lot of diversity.
I don't really consider myself a black man in Hollywood. I live in Brooklyn... and on purpose.
Hollywood hasn't changed. It is the most racist, anti-Indian institution in the world.
I know some black actresses who have to wait every 19 films for a role. I can be cast in practically every one as a young white male.
When you're black in Hollywood, you know, your first role is going to be on a crime drama. That's - everybody knows that.
Most people grow up dreaming of going to Hollywood and some of them work and work and work and finally end up in Hollywood.
