[…] I mean, I’ll be the first to admit that when All-American Girl came out, starring my Korean sister-from-another-mister Margaret Cho, in 1994, I was so excited to see a Korean person on a major American television network that I didn’t care whether or not the show was actually good. To me, at the tender age of 19, I felt validated as a young Korean-American. There she was, funny-as-fuck-to-me at the time, Margaret Cho, on her very own tv show! I ignored the fact that everyone else on the show wasn’t Korean, hell, MASH was supposed to be set in South Korea and there were no Koreans ever to be found in the cast. That was never a huge problem for me, just like it wasn’t in All-American Girl, because above all else I’m a realist. And no major television network is going to employ a slew of Koreans, or Chinese, or anyone who checks off the box labeled “Asian or Pacific-Islander” on government documents, for one television show. A friend of mine, who also happens to be a fairy princess, actually writes specifically about this on the regular. […]

hi, im going to delurk for a moment to first compliment you on your blog and also to ask for a bit of advice. I’m an asian american in my late 20’s and recently quit my job, i used to act in theater up until high school when i had depression and just kind of allowed myself to be talked out of my goals of being a professional actor. I feel like I’ve wasted so much time doing everything but what I really want to do. Now I feel like this is my last shot to give it a go. Problem is I have no idea where to start. Now that I’m an adult, I’m less fearless than I was and find myself wanting to make every moment count. I reached out to some people I know in the acting scene but all are really tight lipped with practical advice such as, what acting school is good to start with and if it depends on whether you want to do film or theater (i live in nyc). Any info you can pass on would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

  Ok that is a long list:
  Acting schools my friends have done well from include:
  Sandie Shurin
  Michael Howard Studios
  And…people don’t really talk about their Acting classes per se- but if you to to a place called The Actors Connection on 9th Ave- they are very reputable and have smaller length sessions and intensives and if you went there, you could probably get a feel of you really want to be in showbiz as a professional or not.
  
  Personally I never recommend it to anyone because it is usually pretty awful, but many many many of my friends do incredibly well with it. So who’s to say.
  
  You will also need head shots- they are your calling card and for an actor without a job, you will probably pay anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand by the time you pay the Makeup Artist and for retouching and to print them- because yep, you still need to walk into a lot of rooms with them.
  
  I think you start with theater training, that is the best place to start, and just keep asking professionals where they studied.
  Acting teachers are not one size fits all and there are a lot of people out there who will take your money, but if you feel like you are learning, maybe you are.
  I would recommend looking into Improv at Upright Citizens Brigade or Second City as a more fun way to start- good luck
