As an asian actor on a western show do you feel an extra burden upon you when you play a character? By that I mean you are often asked to portray an specific ethnicty that you resemble but may not be your own, to western audiences. Do you feel that you must act as somewhat of an ambassador to that culture, be it in your personal performance or how the character is portrayed?
