Some friends introduced Trang to a young talent agent who offered to represent Trang. Through him, she landed two commercials. Then he had her audition for the Power Rangers, telling her to "just wing it and have fun."
After the third reading, the show's producer called Trang's performance "adorable," but said she needed to improve her martial arts skills and advised her to get a private trainer. Trang shrugged it off.
Three days later the producer phoned to say he had arranged a training session for her with a top martial arts instructor. Three days after that Trang got the part.
"I definitely think opportunities for Asian actresses are improving," Trang says. "When I traveled the country appearing at charity events, I found the people judged me for my performance. They didn't say, 'Hey look, it's that Asian girl.'"
