Why Grace Park and Daniel Kim Left Hawaii Five-0

The Asian stars of 'Hawaii Five-0' quit the show after CBS refused to pay them as much as their white costars.  CBS was paying them 10-15 much lower then their co-stars on the show who is not of Asian descent.

Daniel Kim has been outspoken about this issue, telling the New York Times last year and quote: 

“The harsh reality of being an actor is that it’s hard to make a living, and that puts actors of color in a very difficult position.”
