A pair of giant hands lift the ribbon-like Golden Bridge up in the air above Vietnam’s Trường Sơn Mountains. The shimmering structure emerges from the trees of Thien Thai garden in Ba Na Hills. Set more than 1400m above sea level, the bridge incorporates eight spans and extends 150m-long.
There was a lack of Asian American leading men when I was growing up and that wasn’t something I was conscious of until I started getting into acting, and going to auditions. I noticed all the roles I was going for were these stereotypical Asian roles, like the martial artist or the tech nerd. I wasn’t going for these leading man roles.
