Time for another update.

Just finished guest starring as Martin on the Untitled Kari Lizer Project.  Word has it the title will be HELP WANTED.  Its testing and at networks now so, here's to good luck on the pickup for NBC. 

It was an amazing time.  And I hope to work with them again very soon.

Mortal Kombat has just released on XBOX and Playstation.  It is the latest game this time by WB Games.  I reprise my role as Liu Kang. 

Played Asian Husband in funny scene with Stephen Merchant in feature film "Hall Pass"

Also, acted in a short film for my friend Pascal Leister based off the popular animated youtube hit, Iphone vs. EVO.  Link is on my homepage.

I've also completed my latest feature screenplay. In rewrites as we speak. 

I've also completed smaller parts on Chuck, Franklin and Bash, Death Valley, and the recently cancelled, Undercovers.

Apologies for not updating my news.  I will attempt to summarize what all I've been up to in the last year.  I guess working backwards chronologically would be best. 

So, the latest is "Make it or Break It"  ABCFamily, then it was "Sons of Tucson" on Fox, then guest starring on "Suite Life on Deck" on Disney, Nice juicy acting part on "The Forgotten" ABC. Then it was a great guest star on "Leverage", then a commercial shot in Shanghai, then voice over work on Mortal Kombat through WB reprising role of Liu Kang, then voices for True Crime, then a print job for UPS, 

ALso completed my short film "Adam and Evolution" which you can check out on my home page.
