What I'm Aspiring To Be
Yeh Who?
Chapter 1. Here He Comes!
I truly wish I could tell you that a star was born, but I couldn’t.
On my first birthday, I “accidentally” discovered the cake my parents had stored in the refrigerator before the party. I ate one of the cream flowers, then decided to eat the other one to balance out the appearance, thinking no one would notice. The picture shows I forgot to smooth out the cake and took a few extra licks along the edge while "fixing" it.
When I was a kid, the owner of a grocery shop I frequented told me I should be in showbiz. Unfortunately, the furthest I got in my acting career was playing Santa Claus in grade school
My Acting Career Attempts
Strike 1:
In the 1972 show Kung Fu, David Carradine played the role of Kwai Chang Caine. Hack! Carradine wasn't even Chinese! Honestly, I'm glad Bruce Lee didn’t get the role either.
Strike 2, 3, 4:
I was certain I could play the role of Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid I, II, and III (1984/1986/1989). Unfortunately, as fate would have it, Pat Morita was cast as Mr. Miyagi in all three films.
Strike 5:
I finally got my black belt, and now “The Karate Kid” (2010) is here. Once again, my good friend Jackie Chan (who doesn't know me) played the role of Mr. Han.
It is now 2024, and I am still patiently waiting for my talents to be discovered. If you know any famous Hollywood movie producers, please send them my way. I might even cast you in my next movie!
