Top 43 Rising Asian American Actors to Watch For In Hollywood
#1 - Keep in mind that the ranking has no importance so if someone is #1, it doesn't mean any more than the person at #43.
#2 - The list is ENTIRELY subjective (to drive that point home, I added myself at the very bottom) and will change on a monthly basis.
The top 43 Asian American actors who have yet to be established but are on the up and coming based on their talent, work ethic, and their credits. Age will not be a factor nor do I care about their StarMeter ranking. I am not including actors that are already established with a TV show or have been in multiple major films in prominent roles (this counts out Maggie Q, Steven Yeun, Jamie Chung, Harry Shum Jr., and whatnot).

Grace Rowe graduated from the Orange County High School of Performing Arts and later UCLA's School of Theater, Film, and Television, but it wasn't until she created her one-woman show, "The Grid Life," that she realized she was also a writer and a producer. After adapting the solo play into the feature film script, "American Seoul," Grace was chosen to take part in both the FIND (Film Independent) Screenwriter's and Producer's Lab. Under the encouragement of Effie Brown (producer, "Dear White People," "Leisure Class" (Project Greenlight), Grace produced and acted in the short film version of "American Seoul" and the film played at over a dozen film festivals worldwide, including at New York's MTV Studios/TRL as a spotlight film.

Executive Producer Janet Yang ("The Joy Luck Club," "Zero Effect," "The People vs. Larry Flint") signed on to the project, but there wasn't a single studio in Hollywood ready to finance a feature film about young Asian American girls living in Los Angeles. Frustrated but not crestfallen, Grace took matters into her own hands and wrote, produced, starred in, and co-edited the feature film, "I Am That Girl," a love story/road trip movie that took place in the Sierras. The film garnered her the Best Actress award from the Yosemite International Film Festival for her performance in the film, and it was also nominated for the Grand Jury Prize for Best Narrative Feature Film at the L.A.

Her childhood friend, Pedro Pascal ("Game of Thrones," "Narcos," "The Great Wall") signed on as executive producer, and in the summer of 2015, Grace shot her directorial short film debut. The film centers around Sadie (also played by Grace), a lonely and isolated woman who falls for an avatar in a virtual reality program. The film has just finished post production and is now heading towards the 2016 film festival circuit as Grace continues to develop the project into "Virtually," a dramatic television series.
