@vfrmedia Itʼs annoying since there were good Asian actors around! TNA averaged one episode per season with an obvious white person made to look Chinese. Ronald Lacey (Raiders of the Lost Ark) was one ('Hong Kong Harry').
Hong Kong TV was the opposite under colonial rule. The same blond guy would show up in a variety of series, presumably because he was one of the few on the talent books who could act in fluent Cantonese!
