How Hollywood Treats Asian Actors

Описание: Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park want equal pay. Cenk Uygur and Brett Erlich, the hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. https://tytnetwork.com/join/

“Hawaii Five-O lost actors Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park after they were reportedly unable to come to an agreement with CBS over a salary increase that would bring them up to the same level as their white coworkers Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan. The network is now defending the negotiations by claiming they offered them quite a lot of money, actually.

The Hollywood Reporter shared a statement from CBS that claims there was an offer on the table for “significant salary increases”—which sounds good, but not as a good as “equal pay.”

“Daniel and Grace have been important and valued members of Hawaii Five-0 for seven seasons,” CBS said Wednesday in a statement. “We did not want to lose them and tried very hard to keep them with offers for large and significant salary increases. While we could not reach an agreement, we part ways with tremendous respect for their talents on screen, as well as their roles as ambassadors for the show off screen, and with hopes to work with them again in the near future.”
