John Cho Interview

John Cho is best known for his role as Harold Lee in the Harold and Kumar stoner movies, as well as other, similar comedic roles.  However, in a little over a month we’ll get to see his dramatic talents at work as he stars as Sulu in J.J. Abrams new Star Trek.  You’ll see those talents again next fall when Flash Forward premieres on ABC.  Below is an excerpt from an interview done by Moviehole.com with John Cho.

Question: What are you planning to do next, do you know?

Cho: Well, I just completed a pilot for ABC called Flash Forward.

Question: Which is?

Cho: Well, it’s a good script, written by David Goyer, who did Batman Begins, so when I read it, that was a passion moment for me. I just got really excited, even though TV wasn’t really on my mind. But – everyone in the world blacks out for two minutes at the beginning of the show, and there’s an event that causes everyone to black out, and see a vision of their future for two minutes, everyone on the planet. And Joseph Fiennes and I play FBI agents who are trying to piece the whole mess together.

Question: That sounds fascinating.

Cho: It’s fascinating from so many angles, particularly from a domestic point of view, for these characters. That’s what probably excited me the most. It was just – he’s got a real knack for getting into a big idea, via small holes.

Question: Now, has ABC indicated that it’s a possibility that the show will be picked up? When will we know?

Cho: I guess we won’t know ‘til the up-fronts, which are in mid-May, I think.

Question: So, this is going to be for the fall schedule.

Cho: Hopefully, yeah. But I hear there’s a promo airing for our show on the 100th episode of Lost.
