Amy Hill
You might recognize Amy Hill from the ABC series All American Girl or the Sean Connery/Wesley Snipes film Rising Sun. Half Finnish and half Japanese, Amy has lived and worked in the Bay Area, while pursuing her career as an actor and writer. She has been cast as everything from a Korean Grandmother to a Nicaraguan Nun. She has also written a one-woman show called "Tokyo Bound," in which she explores issues about her identity and family. You can keep up with Amy's latest projects through her Web site.

About being multiracial Amy says, "I feel like I am entitled to belong everywhere. And I think, maybe, in this society … we're just going through a phase - that in order to feel our strength, which is not diminishing anybody else's strength, we'll move onto the next level where we will feel comfortable in our skin but not be obsessed with it at all."

"During the course of my living in Japan, I really came to myself. It's probably just a matter of growing up but I learned that I couldn't pretend to be somebody else and actually live that for very long." - Amy
