Note the initial complaint is specific to Asian males in romantic lead roles
The Michelle Yeoh's and Lucy Liu's and Greta Lee's of the world do not seem to be having the same problem getting romantic lead roles. Pretty sure the thread just caught Simu in a moment of drunkenness when he remembered Henry Golding seems to get such such roles non-stop (but in mostly crappy movies).
in response to MJACI saying he's only "getting dad roles" even after FREK2 Nov 24, 18:01
DIdn't he play a dad in Freakier Friday? I don't get it. He's getting roles. {nm} Nov 24, 18:16
He also played the romantic lead. He doesn't want to be pigeonholed as a dad. {nm} Nov 24, 18:21
When did that movie come out? Three months ago? {nm} Nov 24, 18:22
Yeah. At least give it a year. {nm} Nov 25, 06:13
Agents and studio heads see the film much earlier and can start making offers. {nm} Nov 25, 07:50
You know a good way of getting more acting jobs? STOP ****ING COMPLAINING! Nov 24, 18:16
Lupita Nyong'o was speaking out similarly this week (the paucity of lead roles she was offered after winning the Oscar) Nov 24, 18:23
Exactly. She was offered another slave role. Nov 24, 20:40
