Alison Brie Says She Regrets Voicing Vietnamese-American Character on BoJack Horseman
He answered through a series of tweets, "This is something I am happy to talk about! I can tense up when asked about my mistakes but it's good for me to reflect on them and I hope others seeing me do so will help them not make the same mistakes!"
"In the first few seasons of BoJack, I was asked about the casting of Diane a few times on twitter and reddit but I evaded the question, mostly because my own understanding of the issue was evolving and I didn't want to give a defensive or half-thought-out answer," he added.
He explained that after season 4, he was "never going to feel 'ready' to talk about it, and I just had to do it, ready or not." Further, this isn't the first time a fan has brought up these concerns. In January 2018, he addressed the issue after a fan asked why it was Brie, a white woman, voicing the Vietnamese-American character. "Short answer: I love my entire cast, but if I were doing it today, I would not cast the show with all white people.
