Daniel Dae Kim called “the scary effect” on freedom of expression and diversity, actions and inclusion initiatives in Hollywood.
In an interview associated with Press in Seoul, South Korea, Tony’s candidate was invited to worry about the reaction against Dei’s efforts in the entertainment industry.
“We already see it”, Butterfly The actor and the executive producer said. “If you look at what happened with Paramount and CBS News, we see a scary effect on freedom of expression and journalism and Dei.” Dei “is a bad word these days, but for me, Dei is not a fashion. The idea of inclusion is not something that is a political trend. It’s my life. This is what I experienced every decade that I was in this case. ”
Kim refers to the regulation of $ 16 million between Paramount and President Donald Trump about a disputed 60 minutes Interview with former vice-president Kamala Harris, who, according to the GOP chief, had been fraudulently published. At the time of filing a complaint of $ 20 billion, the media conglomerate judged this decision “without merit”.
Following the announcement of the regulation, the end of evening host Stephen Colbert, whose program is televised on CBS de Paramount, described the decision as “big-bridge-bridge” in the midst of the merger as an imminent and long-standing. A few days later, he announced to the public that his show – and The late show The franchise as a whole, which started with David Letterman – would be canceled next year. In the midst of the speculation of viewers, members of the congress and colleagues of the industry, Paramount defended the decision as purely financial motivated.
Elsewhere in the questions and answers with the AP, the Lost The alum noted: “I have a lot of sympathy for actors who occupy stereotypical roles when they start because you need a way to enter the business. It is much easier once you are more successful and more established because you have more financial stability. This is something that, if you are not a person of color, or someone who is a minority in the United States, you do not think of what you do not think of what this role means for the postponement for the rest of an ethics. Termed, and it’s very liberating.
