'Hopefully there are more movies that will infuse Asian elements': Grace Huang praises Independence Day: Resurgence directors and writers for a diverse cast
She has recently admitted that she had to move overseas to pursue her acting career due to a lack of ethnic roles available on Australian TV.
And Taiwanese-born Australian star Grace Huang thanks Independence Day: Resurgence directors, writers and producers for choosing a culturally diverse cast to feature in the flick.
'The movie they have created has a big Asian element to it,' the 33-year-old The Star ambassador said to the Daily Mail Australia on Friday.

'Hopefully there are more movies that will infuse more Asian elements to the story interest or at least have a more global story and therefore there will be more chances of a diverse cast to be working on these big productions.'
Grace played an engineer based on the Chinese space station alongside Liam Hemsworth in the follow-up to the 1996 hit, Independence Day.
She said she was 'excited' to be involved in the film that boasted a star-studded line-up which included Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman and Maika Monroe.
'I was really excited because a lot of the original cast stayed on even though it was 20 years later,' she said.

Not long enough: Grace admitted she didn't have the opportunity to engage in a substantial conversation with Liam while working on Independence Day: Resurgence
'I was so humble and so amazed that I could be a part of this...It is rare to be a part of a production at such a scale.'
While working on the film, Grace admitted she didn't have the opportunity to engage in a substantial conversation with her fellow Aussie actor.
She said as soon as she and Liam were dressed in costume, they were in character.
'We were both mic'd up because when you get on set you are dressed up. You know you get into character and you get mic'd up. So you are ready for when they are ready to film,' Grace said.
'He had his microphone on and I had my microphone and that meant at least 30 people were listening in at any point in time which is the director, the producer, the writers and anybody that is watching the screen pretty much.

But this isn't the only Hemsworth the stage stunner has worked alongside.
In the movie Infini, she acted with Luke - the oldest of three Hemsworth brothers.
Meanwhile, Grace is best known for her role as the Gemini Female in the martial arts hit film, The Man with the Iron Fists.
Among her movie credits are Love In Space and vampire movie Bloodtraffick for which she netted a Best Actress award for her role as Ava Chen.
