Jay Chou isn’t a household name in the U.S.A., but in Asia his fame is attached to his singing and some big Asian films. With a concert in Los Angeles on January 8th and the release of The Green Hornet on January 14th, you can start looking for Jay around Los Angeles soon promoting both. We will have to wait for his big Hollywood feature debut to see how he fills Bruce Lee’s shoes as Kato. That is some really big shoes to fill!
In typical Hollywood big budget film style, Asian-American actors are overlooked for big name stars in Asia…so we pull out our soapbox for a moment…Hollywood…please stop importing Asian actors for English speaking big budget films!! There are tons of talented actors right here in Hollywood!…slide soapbox under the desk…resume…
While our correspondent in Taiwan contacted Jay’s publicist there about an interview, it appears his L.A. schedule is pre-determined and packed! So while we may bring you a bit of Jay’s Hollywood experience this month, it will be from all the other sources covering his concert and The Green Hornet premiere.
