Henry Golding – “Long Duk Who? The Rise of the Asian Leading Man”: Although Asian men have existed in Western cinema since Sessue Hayakawa in the silent era, they have often been maligned as geeks, Fu Manchus – and sometimes annoying neighbors in yellowface. The Rebeccas trace the lineage of Asian male actors in Hollywood, from Bruce Lee’s enduring (and even posthumous) struggle to be taken seriously as a leading man to the long-awaited present era, where Asian men are finally breaking through as romantic leads and even superheroes. “Last Christmas” star Henry Golding joins us to share his own journey of becoming an Asian leading man and the responsibilities that entails. by Hollywood Remixed
