=============
Ah, yes, the highly esteemed role of Aide #3. :P
=============
Milf!
=============
I can see this dude becoming a huge ass star if he gets some choice roles down the line. He's already pretty much recognizable by sight alone by a lot of moviegoers.
=============
my former roommate said she ran into him at garden of eden and he was really drunk and tried to get her number. and that he was very cocky.

but a good actor, imo.
=============
Hopefully his "Men's Show" get some good ratings this fall if it ever gets on the air. Its listed as a midseason replacement for one of the networks.
=============
his band left of zed (<a href="http://www.leftofzed.com/) sounds pretty good...

a friend of mine said the same thing about Rick Yune when she met him. Eh, at least it confirms them as just being regular guys as opposed to "movie stars."

Cho seems cool, though and I do agree he's a good actor.

thanks, i fixed it
=============
if he wasn't in that harold and kumar movie, i wouldn't even think about watching it. good in off-centre and blt. i like him as an actor, and he's cute too! although, i've also heard he's arrogant, but thats kinda the norm in hollywood.
=============
I did read in an old Giant Robot that the magazine had him set up for an interview and then he reneged on it at the last moment...which left a bad taste in their mouths about him...was back when he was the MILF guy on American Pie...
=============
i'm gonna support him and AA cinema by watching H&K goes to white castle and purchasing a large pop and popcorn combo filled with extra butter and salt.

anyone else wants to join this nobel cause?

;)

Me! I do! I do!

Me! I do! I do!

Welcome aboard, sista.

:tongue:

chairman mao says, watching movie about tiny hamburgers undermines the corrupt capitalistic society and enhances worldwide revolution.














[ok...i made that up..... :biggrin: ]
=============
I like him too. It looks like he's crossing over bit by bit, heading for success into mainstream American homes. I think that's a great thing. Why can't an actor of Asian decent in America not have his name rolled off of tongues as easily as Tom Cruise or Denzel Washington?
=============
I've met him in person,

he was at my school to promote Better Luck Tomorrow along with Justin Lin

From my impression, I can say that John Cho did not come off as arrogant at all, he seemed pretty chill and humble.

But then again, I personally know him like that.

I'll join you in this noBLE cause, but only if you give me a NobEL prize.
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
Actually, instead of getting a pop and popcorn, why don't you see the movie twice so you can boost the viewership of this movie? Okay, maybe not.

Interesting, I thought he was already seeing someone. It's what I gathered from the Jimmy Kimmel Live (http://www.asianmediawatchdog.com/hk/hk.html) show regarding Kal Penn and John Cho's pressence in 'People Magazines' Most Available Bachelors.
=============
So sad ! H & K bombed at the box office despite good reviews
=============
I really liked H & K, campy as it was it was still pretty good and it did confront many stereotypes about Asians.

Left of Zed is freaking awesome. I need to find out where I can buy their album though. I've been searching online for quite some time.

Interesting comments from John:

"His advice to Korean actors, actresses and directors who want to make inroads into Hollywood is surprising. Cho says that with the Korean film industry booming, why would they want to come to Hollywood where they can hardly communicate. If Hollywood is a big box, then the space for Asians is very small. He wonders why these actors would want to go through hardships in the U.S., speaking English instead of their mother tongue."

Korean-American Actor John Cho Talks Films, Politics (http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200410/200410200041.html)
Korean-American actor John Cho says that Hollywood movies have not changed their portrayal of Asian people. Hollywood has not really changed. Asians should say “no?if they don’t want to be insulted -- the situation will never change if Asians put up with insulting portrayals in Hollywood movies.
The 32-year-old actor was selected one of the 50 Hottest Bachelors of the year by People Magazine. John Cho played a leading role in “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle?and “Better Luck Tomorrow,?and is now considered a promising young actor. The critically acclaimed comedy, “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle,?features a young Korean-American man and his Indian-American friend, who live through an adventure to get to the White Castle burger joint in New Jersey. With his starring role, John Cho is catching everyone's attention. This writer met with the actor in Los Angeles to talk about movies, success and politics.

Cho received the 12th Multicultural Award at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Oct. 17 (local time). The Multicultural Motion Picture Association gives the award to television and movie actors who contribute to the advancement of cultural diversity. With this award, Cho moves one step closer to cementing his place as a top Asian actor.

Cho immigrated to Los Angeles in 1978, when he was just six years old, with his father, who was a reverend. His father had always told him to become a person who helps other people. Cho majored in English Literature, because his father always taught him that there were more important things than making money. He decided to become an actor when he acted in the play, “Warrior Woman,?at college. Seeing people who were over 50 years old trying perform in plays, Cho thought that if a job can make people study and learn something even at that age, then that job must be worth having.

He denies that he has become an instant success. Cho says that he has not finished climbing the ladder of success, but that he is going up step by step. He is enthusiastic about getting involved in encouraging Asians, including new immigrants, to participate in politics and also enthusiastic about the MTV campaign, “Speak Up.?He joins campaigns like this because he thinks that the voter turnout of immigrants and their children are relatively low and that political cynicism is not helpful.

His advice to Korean actors, actresses and directors who want to make inroads into Hollywood is surprising. Cho says that with the Korean film industry booming, why would they want to come to Hollywood where they can hardly communicate. If Hollywood is a big box, then the space for Asians is very small. He wonders why these actors would want to go through hardships in the U.S., speaking English instead of their mother tongue.
