Rich Polk| NBCUniversal | Getty ImagesMarvel's first Asian superhero star, Simu Liu, says he hit "rock bottom" before finding "enlightenment" as an actor — after his career as an accountant was a flop.
"Crazy Rich Asians" was Hollywood's first movie release to feature a mostly Asian cast since 1993's "The Joy Luck Club."
Simu Liu stars as Shang-Chi in Marvel's "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings."
Disney"We have an Asian … superhero, but we also have, you know, an Asian cast member on SNL.
We have incredible Asian stand-up comedians we have, you know, Asian movies like 'Minari' and 'The Farewell' and 'Past Lives'," Liu said.
