I hope he realizes how big Harold and Kumar was. It was the perfect stoner comedy with these 2 Asian leads . The first 2 were amazing.

Harold and Kumar was the modern day Cheech and Chong.. and they nailed it. I don’t think it could be done again in the future. Also, Cho is a legit fantastic actor who doesn’t get enough credit.

[@justinchou2033]

I don't think John Cho even was a fan of the anime given that he didn't know or remember Spike had a fake eye. Anyone who has watched it once would remember that.

[@tommyoxo]

I’m surprised that no one has brought up the “fake eye” comment because in the anime, Spike does have a fake eye.

[@JordanNMusic]

The Harold & Kumar movies came out during a time period where comedy was full-fledged ruthless…Chappelle’s Show, South Park, the Scary Movies..they can definitely make a 4th but the backlash online would be insane

[@yellowgap2559]

Bruh that’s sad asf

I watched the show several times on adult swim and eventually downloaded the whole series and bought the movie. Completely forgot he had a fake eye until this adaptation. Not sure if I'm glad the adaptation was cancelled, because I really wanted to like it but they did so much wrong. Vicious possibly the biggest wrong.

As someone who was a huge fan of him on Selfie, I think he’d be great in a romantic comedy.

[@selfieignite]

I would love to see him in another romcom. There's definitely a demand for it. I post some Selfie clips on my page and recently learned that the same executive producer for Bridgerton had to fight for John Cho's casting on Selfie.

[@yigitbolcan312]

I discovered him with BEBOP but and now I feel sad ...because he is so cool and humble , which trades u can't see on many actors.Unless if you are not Keanu R.

i decided to do my homework and watch the anime to prep for the live show... myeah....probably a mistake. I actually didnt care for the anime until the VT episode and it just..clicked into place. So every thing that happened in the anime is fresh in my mind and kinda frustrating my viewing experience. But John is a fantastic actor..he did his best with what was given to him. And hes hilarious here lol
