As someone belonging to the immigrant minority, Lucas Lockwood had a hard time breaking stereotypes. He persevered through the challenging and treacherous battle to become a full-time Hollywood actor.
“My journey as an actor started many years ago, and it wasn’t easy. Being an immigrant minority in a world where hate and segregation is still prevalent, we cannot allow that to hold us back from pursuing our dreams and aspirations,” shared the actor. “There is a reason why we are born with the burning passion for pursuing these dreams that sometimes feel too far-fetched. But in reality, that is who we are called to be, and we are too important. Our voices are too vital to bring beautiful change to this world, but it will only happen if you believe in yourself and know that it can and will happen in time.”
