A talented Filipinx actor friend of mine is meeting with new agents and one just told him that Filipinos are a "hard sell" and that she "couldn't do anything with that" and some days I just want to throw my tsinela at Hollywood so hard
Y’all - I keep having to tell actors this - just cuz a role went diverse does NOT mean that’s why they were cast and NOT what to take home w/ you if you AREN’T cast. Maybe it serves the story best, maybe they’re better for a role, but don’t cop to ‘diversity hire’ as the reason
