Quotes
Asian people are very practical and come from a conservative world. The parents want their kids to be doctors and lawyers. There are casting calls for Asian children, but once the parents find out the children might miss school, they’re opposed to it.
B. D. Wong
As an actor, I have casting issues. I’m a minority. I don’t have trouble making a living, but as far as being on the food chain of the pecking order of actors, I’m not at the top of it. With the jobs that I do, there are always control issues with directors and producers.
B. D. Wong
If I were to limit myself to the opportunities that were presented playing only Chinese-American parts, I would be virtually without a career.
B. D. Wong
Usually, when you are an ethnic person or a trans person, in your average, everyday, unsophisticated television show, you are there for that reason. And they clearly justify and overexplain why. You very rarely see a transgender actor playing the part of a grocery-store clerk without having to say, ‘Oh, look at that trans person.’
B. D. Wong
Playing the priest on ‘Oz’ was a fantastic experience. I was very lucky.
