Actor Tzi Ma, one of Hollywood's favorite dads, is ready for his close-up in 'The Farewell,' Disney's 'Mulan' and the new drama 'Tigertail.'
Alan Yang’s debut feature, “Tigertail,” starring Tzi Ma and Christine Ko, should prompt a few parents to share life stories with their adult children.
“There was an energy and a commitment and a kind of political passion that really struck me,” said Hwang. “He had an awareness of how the industry needed to change, and a vision for a better world for Asian Americans and for all people of color on stages and on screens.” “As an Asian American actor, you’d sit there and look at the script and go, ‘OK, what can I salvage? How can I save the script?’” he said. “Good writing, you don’t have to do anything. There’s a lot more now, finally.”
“I would have had to take any job, regardless,” Ma continued. “And trust me, actor friends of mine, we talk about this. They have kids. Either they give up their career or take anything that comes their way even when they are not wanting to do it — most of the time because it’s a stereotypical role that they cannot possibly salvage and save.”
