Read our privacy policy Sandra Oh has said she believes the UK is “behind” when it comes to diversity in TV and film. “Being the sole Asian person is a very familiar place for me,” the Canadian-American told Kerry Washington as part of Variety magazine’s Actors on Actors series. I’m not only the only Asian person on set – sometimes it changes, very exciting when someone comes on set.” She continued: “The development of people behind the camera is very slow in the UK. I’ve not even really talked about this, but there is something about constantly feeling like the observer or the outsider.” Oh’s comments echo those made by director Steve McQueen, who recently said the UK TV and film industries needed to challenge their own “blatant racism”.
