The field of Emmy nominees is more diverse than it has been in previous years, but a number of prominent actors, writers and producers say Hollywood can do more, a message they put across in a 60-second commercial that aired on ABC during the annual awards ceremony on Sunday. Billy Porter, Daniel Dae Kim, Jamie Chung, Isis King and Lin-Manuel Miranda are among those featured in the ad from the Alliance for Inclusive and Multicultural Marketing, an arm of the Association of National Advertisers trade group. “You act as if bias does not exist,” says Mr. Kim, who left the CBS police procedural show “Hawaii Five-O” in 2017 amid reports that he and an Asian-American co-star would be paid less than their white co-stars.
