Michael, I thought I lost you. The only reason you got out is because Ramon showed you the way.

I was negotiating my deal on “Nikita”. A copy of The Hollywood Reporter came to my house one day. There was a photo of me, and it said that there was this landmark casting about to happen. I was like, “Ooh…what landmark casting?” I started reading this article, and it said that if I took the deal — which I was still negotiating — that I would be the first Asian American lead on broadcast television. I wanted to throw up. There are so many quality Asian American actors out there, but they’re not giving us the lead roles! What was important to me was not that it was an Asian lead. What was important to me was that it was a lead that was not written for an Asian. “Nikita” has always been played by white girls. Always. Warner Brothers took a leap of faith and said, We don’t want a French girl, or a white girl, or this or that. We want the right person who has the heart of this character. You have it.
