Description	In the second of the two commissioned interviews for this Special Issue, we discuss the experience and politics of casting from the perspective of ethnic minority actors. Although there were a number of individuals and organisations who could have been approached, here we talk to Daniel York, who initially drove the debates after he was auditioned for, but not cast in, The Orphan of Zhao, and to Anna Chen, who spearheaded the media campaign against the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). Both are also founding members of British East Asian Artists, a lobbying and production group that was formed during the RSC controversy to promote East Asian representation on stage and screen.
