Thanks for your answer. I'm excited for your career too as things progress. Been a fan since the Asian Jim scene.

Do you still watch Modern Family? Your persistence in critiquing it despite negative comments was admirable, especially because it came at a time when I was doubting the show myself and wondering if I should quit it. Meanwhile, friends loved it and raved about it, and I felt I could trust you to offer a criticism of it while still liking it some; just not as much as others did.
Once I stopped watching it, I didn't miss it, and I was shocked to see Luke Dunphy several years later after a notable growth spurt. Barely recognized him. If you still watch it, do you find that it holds up at all compared to its earlier years?

Randall - As a Korean-American, I think a lot about how Asians are portrayed in movies/TV, or if they get portrayed at all (latest example, I was excited to see BD Wong have a decent role in Jurassic World, along with Brian Tee's brief role). But I realize that there's still a ways to go before an Asian is, like gonna be cast as the next Marvel hero.
Do you think we eventually get to the point where Asian-Americans are in lead roles on a normal basis? How far away are we? How do you feel about the progress, whether from what you've seen or from your own audition experiences?
