In this episode of the series focussing on Asian Kiwis, reporter Bernadine Lim talks to Dan Sing and Li-Ming Hu about pursuing acting over more stable careers. Both actors were core cast in soap Shortland Street in 2003; Sing played Dr Marvin Ho and Hu played “mean and cantankerous” medical student turned doctor Li Mei Chen (before joining the writing team). Sing chose acting over a predictable accounting career after his first film role. Hu has a Masters in history and understands the Chinese attitude of seeking 'security' for their children above all else, something an artistic career rarely provides.
