Avatar: The Last Airbender's Paul Sun-Hyung Lee on "golden age" of Asian representation in film, TV

In an interview with Global News, actor Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who plays Uncle Iroh in Netflix's new live action remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender, spoke about the "golden age" of Asian representation in Hollywood and in the show.

"It really is mind-blowing," he said. "When I started off, it felt like a desolate wasteland," Lee added, stating in the past, diverse characters rarely played pivotal roles in film or television, often serving as stereotyped or background characters.

He also talked to Global News about cast relationships, what it was like working with the next generation of Asian actors, the show's intensive hair and makeup process, and more.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is out on Feb. 22 on Netflix.
