People have already dug up and begun circling this post again for this year, but here it is again.
Another thing! If you live in a college dorm that has a policy against candles being lit in the rooms, and you want to light a menorah for Chanukah, seek out help advocating yourself from your local Chabad, Hillel, or other assorted Jewish organization. They know how to deal with this stuff and will help you work on a compromise with school officials. You have a right to celebrate Chanukah.
I’m not going to stop at one, ten, twenty people telling me “You’re too much like this” or “You’re not enough like that.” My team is well trained. I tell them “Just get me in the room, get me the audition, even if they’re looking for a blonde American woman,” because once I’m there, maybe I can bring something different and change someone’s mind. I try to force doors. I would never fit a character on paper.
❝I’ve been fortunate in my career, but, yes, there have been many times when I have been told my audition has been cancelled because they’re only going to see white people. The statistics are really depressing. I remember reading some that made me think: Oh, you are more likely to see an alien in a Hollywood film than an Asian woman.❞
