Silent role

Forgot to post this earlier.

Saw Kal Penn (who played Kumar in the cult film Harold and Kumar go to White Castle) in Superman Returns as one of Lex Luthor's goons. Apparently he is "Riley," described as Luthor's lead henchman.

He died in the movie (a boulder from Luthor's self-made island squished Penn and Luthor's other goons near at the film's end) without even saying a word.

Sigh. Just remembered my previous post about the need for more Harolds and Kumars in the movies.

"The world would be a better place if we had more Harolds and Kumars in the movies. And it would be a better place if our news and feature stories had more average, everyday Asian guys who like to kiss girls and go to White Castle," I quoted Tom Huang as writing for Poynter.

See my post.
