I was always pulling for Chow Tun Fat then in Replacement Killers he gets doesn’t get to kiss the girl and knew it wouldn’t happen.

Russell Wong had/had potential not it will have to be John Oh maybe.

The day will come.

I could see Will Smith playing you!

Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. White and Black people have a much easier time thinking about who would play them. As-Ams have to identify with someone else or get stuck with Lucy Liu, John Cho, B.D. Wong, or Sandra Oh.

As an icebreaker question at a recent church event, we were asked which actor/actress would we pick to play our life story. I figured most of the asian actors were too asian. Any of the white actors were too white. So, who’d I end up picking?

Will Smith.

For some reason, he felt like a good fit, even though we’re nothing alike.
