Sung Kang talks about the movie and being an Asian actor in an
exclusive "Collision" interview. (Los Angeles, CA) - June 15, 2006 - Actor Sung Kang plays Han, a bad guy gone good, in the upcoming action sequel The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the latest installment of the successful racecar franchise from Universal Pictures. Sung co-stars in FF3, as the movie is commonly known as, along with Lucas Black (Jarhead, Friday Night Lights) and Bow Wow (Roll Bounce, Like Mike) under the direction of Justin Lin (Annapolis, Better Luck Tomorrow). The actor sat down for an exclusive interview for JumpBoxTV's Video-On-Demand entertainment news show Collision where he praised the executives at Universal Pictures for being "aggressive thinkers". Universal is not just gambling on an Asian theme, which "helps change people's perceptions of Asian American males" says Sung but they are highlighting the growing sport of Drifting, a wild and out of control form of auto racing that has just recently garnered mainstream attention here in the States. It's said of Drifting "if you aint out of control you're not in control". Sung promises the movie to be a wild ride and backs the sport of drifting by adding "The first two (movies) that built the franchise did a wonderful job of really...explaining the whole car culture...but drifting cars have taken off to this real precise sport...there's a technique to it, is there a real technique to just going fast...FF3 has it all." On some issues Sung directly relates to his character Han "there's a sense of fun with Han, naturally I enjoy that type of energy...it was a blessing to go to work everyday and being that guy". Born in Gainesville Georgia, Sung knew at an early age that he wanted to make an impact on people emotionally. This not only explains his growing acting resume which already boasts roles on Without A Trace, Monk, Spin City but it better explains the opening of his none traditional southern California restaurant, Saketini (Sake and Martini), where they blend all forms of Asian cuisines and even none Asian cuisines be it Armenian or Italian. Sung Kang doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon, he recently wrapped on the Philip Atwell feature action film Rogue by Lions Gate Films starring Jet Li and Jason Statham.
