I was very amused while reading through Mark's IMDb bio that he's the nephew of Iron Chef's Chariman Kaga.
No, he's not. That's just schtick for the show.
I'm betting the reson he doesn't get more mainstream work is that traditionally, action stars that come from his background (martial arts pro) usually can't act any better than a 2x4 that's a really bad actor.
But still they keep trying to force actually good HK actors of similar backgrounds into clunky vehicles -- perhaps a native English speaker would have a better time than Jet in a foreign language.
I'm not quite sure why Mark Dacascos never made it bigger.
Hey. He's the Chairman's Nephew! [x-post]
No, he's not. That's just schtick for the show.
IMDb has NO fact checking. Bastards.

They think all we want is to watch these guys hit stuff.
And they're not far off -- we'd just like to see a little quality filmmaking to go along with the hitting stuff.

We did a quick Ravenloft adventure using Mani and Fronsac as the two PCs. It rocked. It was also easy to roleplay thanks to Le Bihan and Dacascos as actors.

YOU'RE SUCH A GEEK, RAQUEL!!!
(I'm so proud of you).
Speaking of Asian/Asian-American actors I want more of:
Russell Wong.
moremoremoremoremoremoremoremore...dammit!
Russell, ahh, Russell.
Not a bad fighter either.
So, I clicked on the pictures for Russell, and then saw that the next picture over was of "Sam."
Curious, I clicked, and discovered it was Sam Gamgee's hands being featured. Then trying to remember when Sam ever wore spectacles, I clicked on the link for Sam spectacled, and discovered pictures of Sam Rockwell and Samuel L. Jackson in glasses.
This increased my curiosity as to the "wet" pictures, so I followed that link.
ita, who in the hell is the wet "Sam" with the bear skin on his chest? 'Cuz gross.
You're dissing Sam Elliott? But he's the man.
