Growing up, Catherine Haena Kim never dreamed of being the lead
in the new ABC drama,"The Company You Keep," which premieres Sunday. A remake of the Korean drama"My Fellow Citizens," it centers on the hot and heavy romance between Kim's CIA agent and Ventimiglia's con artist.
Liu concedes that the current crop of shows indicate things are “improving slowly." A member of the Writers Guild of America, he tempered that assessment with a reminder of how difficult it is just to get a TV pilot made. It was “The Company You Keep” executive producer Jon M. Chu, the director of “Crazy Rich Asians,” who suggested that agent Emma Hill be Asian American — and have an on-screen family with a Korean American father and Chinese American mother. The Hill family is also a political dynasty.
In 2003, the FBI learned he was the target of an assassination plot by a white supremacist and anti-government extremist who"specifically said that there’s no way that an Asian American could be a legitimate governor of the state of Washington," Locke recalled. Locke believes seeing Asians and Asian Americans taking charge on-screen does have an impact in real life.
