Actress @constancewu is best-known for her roles on EastSiders and Fresh off the Boat. Raised in a Taiwanese-American family, Wu is one of the few actors to portray Asian-American womanhood on television. In her upcoming film Crazy Rich Asians, she wishes to bring Asian-American culture to Hollywood. She says, “but what’s special about this film is it differentiates Asians from the Asian-American experience. A lot of times they think putting in a face of color and filling a quota. Our culture is more than skin deep.” #crazyrichasians
