So I've been here for just a bit over ten days now and am just beginning to get settled in. I know my directions now and I am getting to know my hood. The subway and train system is insane but I'm figuring that out too. The food here rocks. Ramen has been my staple but I'm moving on. The above phot is of the awesome Pra...Read more
It's been a couple days here now and am starting to get used to it. An old friend from college took me to a show that had Taiko drumming performed by member...Read more
Two days back in Hong Kong was just not enough time! Now I'm in Tokyo getting ready to start my next project. Should be pretty fun. I haven't had the opportunity to spend this much time in Tokyo for a long time. We'll be here for almost two months then move over to Kobe. Never been there before, maybe I'll get a chance to try some real Kobe beef!!!
Well our trip to The Hawaii International Film Fest is just about over. I am leaving tomorrow but I don't want to go because we are having so much fun! I screened Blood Brothers on Saturday and we screened THK yesterday. Conroy, Andrew, our significant others and most of the alivenotdead posse all came out for this to wind up the whole THK experience. Too bad Terence couldn't make it. We also hooked up with the Finishing The Game crew and it was a blast meeting Justin Lin, Roger Fan and the le...Read more
No pics this time but I just wanted to say the alivenotdead "Respect" party was so awesome! Thanks to all of you who showed up and gave support! Wing Shya's photo exhibit was incredible. 10 years of snap shots, over 300 photos up on the wall was an incredible site. The show is still on till the end of the month so don't forget to check it out!
At the party, 24 Herbs never cease to amaze me, they are getting better and better every time and definitely had f...Read more
I've finally made it back to NYC! After leaving on such a sour note with the broken leg in July, I'm stoked to be walking around New York again. This time I'm here to attend the Chivas Regal party which will be held on Friday at the NY Public Library.

Been gone on a whirlwind around the globe experience thus the lack of blog time. From HK I flew to Venice for the film festival then to Toronto for their film festival then to La for the Imprint Conference, then up to SF to say hi to my parents then back to HK. Literally around the world in 13days. This is the second time this year I've flown around the world. First...Read more
Last week I had dinner with my "big brother" Wu Jing and our coach Wu Bin. When I trained wushu with the Beijing Wushu Team back in '94 Wu Jing took care of me and Wu Bin just kicked our asses! I was known as Xiao(little) Wu, Wu Jing was Da(big) Wu and Wu Bin was Lao(old) Wu. If you don't know, Wu Bin has also taught Jet Li as well as countless other "greats" as well as responsible for spreading wushu all over the globe. It was also good to see that at 71, he is still looking great. I was also happy to see my ...Read more
Since I just came back from Beijing and Shenzhen promoting Blood Brothers, I might as well drop a plug on you all. So here it is...Blood Brothers in theater's soon! Wednesday we're heading to Taipei, then back to HK for the premiere on the 21st. It was nice to see the whole cast again after all this time. Although it was a tough shoot for many reasons, we bonded well as actors and had a great time.Here are some photos that you won't see in any promotional material...cause I took 'em! Enjoy.
As the last of the protestors were dragged away by police from Queen’s Pier Tuesday night, I could not help but feel emotions of sorrow, to anger, to helplessness. Hong Kong is losing its heritage, its history and its sense of self. We are stuck with a government that believes economics can solve everything but they are sorely wrong.
