>> hinojosa: really? so... >> no, '93. >> hinojosa: so we haven't had another movie with asian-american... asian... >> no. >> hinojosa: what needs to happen? >> because, you see, after joy luck club, everybody said, "oh, yeah, let's do more," you know? and then, you know, you forget about it, right? and also another thing which amused me too, you know, you're hot only literally for a year. >> hinojosa: one year. >> yeah, i mean, literally. because next... because there is somebody else coming to it. and so... it's getting better, because the younger generation. and also, i think, you know, it's a demand and supply thing. in the beginning, there was no demand. and therefore, there was no supply. and it's a vicious circle this way. so the young actors now are better trained, i hope. there are still a lot of them here not stage-trained, which i find it really... because you don't last very long if you don't. i mean, sandra oh, for instance, she is a stage-trained actress. >> hinojosa: and you know what's so

( laughing ) i mean, you wouldn't write it if you didn't feel like it was... it was worth something, but i imagined it in the way that you imagine being a jedi when you are three years old, you know? it's in the realm of possibility, and sure, maybe one day. but you know, i just... i knew that i wanted to write, i knew that i wasn't good at anything else, and i just... i knew there weren't enough musicals to keep me employed as a latino actor if i wanted to go into t

>> hinojosa: you ultimately did... they did... >> yeah. >> hinojosa: i guess it was actor's equity that basically had to make a decision to allow you to perform. >> right. >> hinojosa: but opening night there were picketers, there were protestors. >> there were picketers throughout previews, too. i mean, during one of the preview performances there were picketers that came into the balcony. and so we were doing this... we were onstage already, we were doing a preview performance. and then we just hear this screaming in the balcony. and i'm thinking... i'm looking up going, "what's going on up there? we're trying to do a show," you know? "are you going to give us a little respect?" >> hinojosa: people were also very upset about the fact that miss saigon... you know, the terms that would be used now would be to say well, it was a show that was looking at the forced trafficking of women in vietnam who were forced to become sexual objects against their will. and you know, this whole drama is made around them, and there's a love story. but do you think that... >> the show would exist today?
