Actor, “dryer“”
Lachman has become one of the most popular characters in Apple TV +”Seede”. In season 2, the actor was front-past as she widens her character, Gemma, playing several different “innie” versions of the same person.
“I felt very lucky that I could go deeply in the background of Gemma because … Obviously, things are changing now, but that was not always the case. You don’t always play a fully expanded human being, ”says Lachman.
Hollywood has historically offered roles limited to Asian actors, but this has changed in recent years, both in the industry and in the career of Lachman. “Sterely”, in particular, allowed him
To display its full range of skills. His role forces him to bounce between the disparate work of Gemma. “It taught me a lot about the ability to compartmentalize your emotions, bury them, then release them and control you and turn on,” explains Lachman.
She is not unrelated to the science fiction space, after playing in the Netflix series “Altered Carbon”. Lachman is also known for “Jurassic World: Dominion”, “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”, “Agents of Shield” and “Aquamarine”.
On the “starting semets”, Lachman is aware of his presence as an Asian actor. “To represent the Asian community like that – it’s incredible,” she said, adding: “It’s comforting to see that there are very great roles for everyone now. It’s not just an archetype.”
Lachman, who is part of Tibetan, was born in Nepal and grew up in Australia. She remembers developing a “thick external shell” when she was an ostracized child because of her mixed identity, a line she needed when she started to act. “Some of the things that have been told to me about being Asian and wanting to be in this industry, I don’t even want to repeat because they are so horrible,” said Lachman. “But I sort of took it and I used it to push myself forward.”
In the future, it would be open to exploring different roles and continuing to reverse people’s ideas on what Asian actors can do. At the top of his mind? A Western. “I want to try to do things that break,” says Lachman.
Everything she will do next, let’s hope, would push her to continue to grow. “It is more about expanding everything I have already had the opportunity to do, but in a more significant way, in a more difficult way,” says Lachman. –
