"Fresh Off The Boat"の父親役、"The Interview"の金正恩だったのか〜！言われてみればそのとおりだ。
それにしてもKorean-Americanな彼、"Fresh Off The Boat"の役をもらった時あまり自信がなかったそう、アメリカンドリームを信じる台湾人移民、という役柄に適役かどうか迷っていたらしい。
"I really felt like, this is a very important show," he says. "This is historical. I don't think I should be the one to play this father. I felt uncomfortable with it."

"And he basically said, 'Look, I'll support you in whatever you want to do, but I really think you're the one for this part.'

それにしてもこの前のプレミア、800万人が観ていたらしい。いまどきのsitcomにしては上々なスタートじゃないのかな。
