People Are Now Upset About Daniel Dae Kim’s Casting in ‘Hellboy’ Because He’s Korean
“Really stoked about Daniel Dae Kim’s casting on Hellboy. We won one! For those that are upset that he’s Korean and not Japanese. Think about this, as an actor of Asian descent, do I have to wait for Hollywood to make a role that is of my specific Asian ethnicity for me to take a role? It’s east to be upset about this if you’re of an Asian descent that is more well known, but what about Asian American actors that are of a more obscure Asian ethnicity? Or if someone is a mix, can they only play characters of those specific mixes? If the actor can portray the character well, look right for the part, why make a big deal of it? Why can’t we just be happy for one another? We need to stick together, this is NOT the time to nitpick and be divided. Just another POC actor’s point of view, much love y’all.”
