Daniel Dae Kim takes over ‘whitewashed’ role
After the whitewashing controversy that led to Ed Skrein leaving the cast of the new “Hellboy” film, ex-“Hawaii Five-O” star Daniel Dae Kim has taken over the role of Ben Daimio. Skrein quit after learning that the character wasn’t supposed to be Caucasian.
Kim and his “Hawaii Five-O” costar Grace Park left the TV series after seven seasons, after not being offered the same salary as their white costars.
Kim and Skrein eventually got together and posed for a photo, which the former posted on Instagram. —OLIVER PULUMBARIT
