Other Asian References This Matsuda tour also went to Indonesia and I can find almost indecipherable references on what looks like Indonesian google and wikipedia But while researching the topic I discovered why his appearance in the 1990 Disney movie Newsies was so notable He is chinese and his appearance in the movie became a milestone in that he was an Asian playing in a non stereotyped role As an early role model for Asian actors I can see that there ia a hollywood social group called Team Yellow and they seem to all be friends and have dinners once a year But beyond discussion on social sites I fear I can not find news material on this topic A further Asian reference that also involves his modelling career is that he is the model used in Photographer David LaChappelle s current exposition on Chinese Pop Culture and Bruce Lee which opened in Hong Kong just last month There is a video on his site of David LaCapelle making these works and the David LaChapelle site on the Hong Kong Show has the pieces available for online viewing However I don t think links to the video and a viewing of the show pieces is enough and would have to find news articles about the show in Hong Kong journals As I continue researching this article I am truly impressed by the vast variability in this man s career Gmccombs
