James Hong

So he's unconvinced as of now.

Yeah, um, James Hong kind of scoffs.

He kind of laughs to himself.

Um-

Yeah.

Because Lo Pan is played by James Hong, who is the writer and director of The Vineyard.

Yeah, The Vineyard.

Big fans.

Like they're not taking away that like this man can fly through the air, like, you know, um the flying nun but like the other details about like what's going on on the ground and what buildings he sees and like all the stuff like it's it's so fascinating and bananas it's called stealing saint nick a legendary corpse a notorious theft and the stories that shape the world by mt anderson And also out, I've been on like a really big Hollywood kick lately with like Hollywood memoirs.

And this one is You've Seen Me Before, Over 700 Rules and 70 Years in Hollywood and Counting by James Hong with Jeff Yang.

So James Hong is an Asian actor.

You've seen him in everything, like everything.

Okay, 700 rules.

So I have a TV in my office that I use to cast my laptop on so that I can read, you on this big tv screen because of my eyes and it has like a landing channel is what i call it you know you turn on the tv and there's a channel it's always on this like old sitcom channel and they show like all these really old sitcoms so the other day well first of all the other day i saw george clooney in this like amazing outfit on the facts of life but that's neither here nor there uh but the other day i turned it on and it was an episode of i dream of genie like one of the really old ones it's in black and white and there was james hung and then i I turned it, you know, I turned it over to reading and I was reading on the screen.

And then when I disconnected it, it was an episode of Malcolm and Eddie.

And there was James Hong.

What else, mate? We're coming up to sort of nearly towards the end, but what else from you? Well,

I think we have to touch on Victor Wong and James Hong, who I think both are great in this.

Egg Shen and David Lopat, I think.

James Hong is having so much fun as Lopan.

He's great, isn't he? He twists between like this huge, you know, larger than life character.

But then when he sees him on season TV in his building, he turns to one of his housemates like, this is really pisses me off.

Yeah,

and he keeps twisting between.

I mean, not everybody was at the top of their career.

And like James Hong, I think he's done more movies than any actor alive.

So he's great, but he's not like some crazy pull.

If you put a camera out in like a mile vicinity of where he's at, he's going to show up.
