Lewis Tan, the star of Warner Bros pandemic hit Mortal Kombat (2021), started out with supporting roles in major productions including The Hangover 3 and Olympus Has Fallen before scoring breakout roles as Zhou Cheng in the first season of the Netflix series Iron Fist in 2016 and then Gaius Chau in the third season of the AMC television series Into the Badlands, starring alongside Daniel Wu. Tan has since been accumulating positive reviews and attention on TV as well as on the big screen. In 2018, he played X-force member Shatterstar alongside Ryan Reynolds in Marvel’s Deadpool 2, and the following year starred in Wu Assassins. Tan spoke with Post culture desk reporter Lisa Cam about his “extremely tough” rise to fame and coming directorial debut for a biopic about his father, Hollywood stunt director Philip Tan.

Very handsome actor. I'm looking forward to his directorial debut and story based on his father's life, it sounds really interesting!
“Tough?” He always seem lovely, but his mother is a fashion designer and his father is a director, it’s almost ridiculous to not mention the massive nepotism that played a part in his career 😅 he comes from a very privileged background.
And on top of that, almost white passing compared to 100% Asian
@@ShweMyaukMyaukhe’s mixed race. What’s he supposed to look like? lol
The question is why should people of other races in the US watch Asians? It's not like Asian Americans care to watch Latinos, blacks or Indians or Iranians or Turkish Americans for example?
Like some Indians and Filipinos in Hong Kong are saying it's very tough for them to get into showbiz in Hong Kong.
People don’t choose someone based on nepotism when their own reputation is on the line. His parents’ influence may have gotten him the initial ten minutes of attention/initial casting interview, but only real talent can stop that door from slamming firmly shut again.

I can watch Lewis Tan all day. 😍 I think that the interviewer can too. 😏
少林fling 春 is the Kung Fu I'm practising.
🤣🤣🤣
I think he has great future in acting 🤗
You are a great actor but i think you are greater as yourself a simple man
Is it tougher making it big as an Asian / Chinese actor in Hollywood for example Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Jet Lee, Lucy Liu, Lewis Tan, Anna May Wong for example? Or is it tougher making it / being less welcome in Asia/China as a white actor (can't think of any A list names).
Lewis Tan and many of these Asians (not those you named here) are nationals in western countries. They are unfortunate enough to be born in the wrong skin color because Hollywood and western countries have no place for them, their own citizens, especially males. In contrast, Asian females have far more roles. This is due to the western male fetish for east asian females aka yellow fever. I suggest you take a look at the east asian roles in Hollywood and other western movies. Most of the time the east asian character will be female. And if the east asian female has a romantic partner, it will almost always be a white guy or even black guy. This is so efng skewed from reality.
@@jjsamuelgunn1136So true. I've seen a lot of asian female cast as oppose to males, I'm asian myself so instead of being attracted to them I find Western women more attractive 😅 but that's just how most industries go, your market might not even be in your own country.
I support actors who make it organically. But forced diversity out of blame game and resentment I don't think is right.

That Interviewer is having a difficult time Bruv
Whoever he is, still outmatched 99% Korean girly actors by 10 time.
Asian acting? 🥱 That's just fake kung-fu fighting
Booo
You chose the wrong path, should have learnt singing and dancing, the kung fu is outdated.
🤣🤣🤣
