Excited
“[I had] an offer to sit in and read for the main Asian bad guy (already cast but he’s in Africa on another project and can’t make the studio, all-cast table read) and to read every other Chinese role in the script (all my dialogue would be in Chinese). Totally, totally retarded. My agents were very excited. They wanted me to do it. They thought it would be a great opportunity for someone like me because I’ll be able to meet and perform in front of the likes of Tom Cruise, Paula Wagner, and other powerful white people. I, on the other hand, was not excited at all.”

Oops, that was "Phil" who blogged about "Movies That Should Have Starred Asians: The Star Wars Trilogy" - didn't realize that blog was a group blog like 8Asians!
I didn't realize Roger Fan blogged. I really liked his post, as well as his most recent one, Movies That Should Have Starred Asians: The Star Wars Trilogy.
