Welcoming Disney's prioritisation of diversity, with an increased number of diverse actors in prominent roles on the platform, David says: "The industry has changed; it's encouraging that more movies and TV shows are giving ethnic minorities better parts rather than favouring stereotypical roles. Films nowadays offers better opportunities for a diverse cast to make it onto screen; I hope it continues to move such a positive direction. Seeing a Chinese Marvel character, 'Shangchi' - played by an East Asian actor Simiu Liu was amazing. It's given actors like myself the inspiration to keep on performing and never give up on our dreams".
