Last month, Dev spoke out against the struggles that Asian actors face in Hollywood.

“Asian actors tend not to be sent Hollywood scripts that are substantial or challenging,” Dev told the Mail. “I’m likely to be offered the roles of a terrorist, cab driver and smart geek. I want to show that I have versatility.”
