One less Asian male in the media. :-(


Pat Morita, dead at 73. R.I.P. man. You were one of the few actors who resisted typecasting because you didn't speak "engrish" on Happy Days (though you dipped into that well for Karate Kid, I'll forgive you for that one).

Oh, and Sulu came out too, a propos of, well, one less Asian (heterosexual) male sex symbol.

That's sad about Pat, but to balance things out, there's a film about the sexxxy Tony Leung at the BAM... "Hard Boiled and In the Mood".

Yeah, Tony's holdin' it down for Asian males. It's actually not one film, it's a series of all of his films. I'll definitely be there, taking notes.
