The scene-stealing actress on her raunchy new role — and the alienation of being an Asian American in Hollywood.
, The Washington Post spoke to Park, who is best known for playing the scene-stealing songstress Mindy on “Emily in Paris.” Park didn’t want to weigh in on the strike while it was pending , but she had a lot to say about the alienation of being an Asian American in the entertainment industry.
“Joy Ride” marks the 32-year-old Park’s first time in a lead role since she appeared in “Thoroughly Modern Millie” for her high school’s musical. In the film, Park’s Audrey is an adoptee who was raised by White parents and has no connection to her biological parents’ culture. A business trip to China with her starving-artist best friend Lolo , soap actress college roommate Kat and Lolo’s K-pop-obsessed cousin Deadeye quickly turns into a quest to find Audrey’s birth mother.
