2. SOUNDBITE (English), Daniel Dae Kim, actor – on how cultural differences between Korean and American crews translated into the production of "Butterfly"
“Every day there was something that needed to be translated literally through language but also working styles you know there are certain things in the way that the crew communicates to each other and also in Korea because it’s a more Confucian society the hierarchy of departments is very clear, so you know, we had to learn to talk to the head of the department who would then talk to the staff as opposed to if you have an issue with one of the staff, you go directly to the staff. This kind of thing was new to the Americans."

4. SOUNDBITE (English), Daniel Dae Kim, actor – on whether he is worried about backlashes against diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives potentially taking place in Hollywood
“Well, we’re already seeing it. If you look at what happened with Paramount and CBS News, we’re seeing a chilling effect on free speech and journalism and DEI. DEI is a bad word these days, but to me, DEI’s not a fad. The idea of inclusion is not something that’s a political trend. It’s my life. It’s what I’ve lived my… every decade I’ve been in this business.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English), Daniel Dae Kim, actor – on roles he still hopes to play
“I’m still waiting to play a romantic lead after all these years. I’ve never gotten the opportunity and it’s one of those interesting things because I look the way I do as an Asian American and Asian men were never considered handsome or sex. It meant that if you look like a leading man who’s Asian American, you’re just never gonna play that role. You might play the best friend or you might play an enemy but you’re not going to play the guy who gets the girl. That’s changing now though, like… I’m friends with Jimmy O. Yang and a few years ago he got to play a romantic lead in a rom-com. And I said to Jimmy like ‘Who would have thought you, Jimmy, would have been the one to be the romantic lead?’ But I was so happy for him because it meant that the way we were looking at Asian men was different.”
