Sung Kang and I will be at the Wilshire Ebell Theater tonight (Nov 13) as judges for KOLLABORATION . It’s this huge talent show showcasing Asian-American acts. Mostly dance/hip-hop from what I can read on their site.
Here’s my public service to the acts today: Fox Searchlight is looking for an asian male dancer to be a lead in the film “Kid Bang” for the role of “WOW”.
Wow is tricky and fast, a brilliant dancer. Described as being “Moulin Rouge” meets “8 Mile”, the film centers on the world of underground dance competitions. All actors for “Wow” must be excellent dancers and have exceptional skill with weapons and knives (7 speeches & 4 lines, 11 scenes).
Send your pic/resume into Shani Ginsberg – 5225 Wilshire Blvd, Ste. 300, Los Angeles, CA 90036 – but if you tell them you got it from me, I will find and hunt you down — I’m not joking. This is privledged information, so serious inquires only.
I thought this would be a great opportunity to help out the cause for AA performers but I can also see it biting me in the butt if the production is flooded with inquires that are anything but serious. So use your own good judgement please.
Stop to say “hi” if you’re there tonight!

dang it!! i wanna go!! T_T but im stuck in SD for the weekend because me and my boyfriend are going on some semi-formal on a cruise… oh well~ i’ll catch you at another event! =P have fun!
Hey Parry, that’s really nice of you to do that to try to help out. I really respect that. Hopefully no one will do anything stupid and have it come back to you.
I want to let you know that I’m surprise also about the Japanese holocaust of the chinese are not mention in american history or culture. I did see a movie done by an asian director, I think the title is The black rain, or I don’t remember. That movie was close to the book. So I like the idea of documentary or movie is need for the american culture. If you research further that might help. I saw the movie like 5-8 years ago at the Chinatown movie house in NYC.

To the guy in the pic,”oww”.
Sounds like a blast!!! My sister knows a few AA hip-hop/bboys and bgirls over in Cali who are absolutely amazing!
Thanks for saying ‘hi’ on the phone, you really brightened up my night. (I was having a rough week!)
Take care and I’ll see you later!
What an awesome honor to be a judge of a talent show….did you feel like Paula, Randy and Simon on American Idol ?
Too bad I can’t dance except for at a club otherwise I’ll audition. LOL I won’t go to spare you embarassment !!!
PARRY!! I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH YOU!! YOU’RE SO AWESOME!! AND YOUR LAST ENTRY ABOUT IRIS CHANG IS KIND OF IRONIC…I BARELY EVER READ NON-FICTION BOOKS, AND THE RAPE AT NANKING WAS ONE OF THE VERY FEW I READ. SO YEAH…KEEP UP YOUR AWESOMENESS!!
hey! i was at kollaboration tonight. i really went up front to see if i could say hello during intermission but unfortunately the traffic for that korean pop star didn’t allow me to make it. : schade. Awesome to see you out there judging though
Hi =) my friends and I were at Kollaboration tonight. It was our first time and it was really nice to meet you and Sung Kang. You guys ended up eating where my friends and I were eating at (Hodori), but didn’t want to bug you guys while you guys were eating. Here’s a link of my xanga with the pics you took with us…. http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=totallyjess
by the way…does Sung Kang have a xanga?
Hey Parry, this is just a reply to your previous entry about Iris. I’ve recently come across another book about the germ warfare that the Japanese performed on the Chinese during the war. I thought you might be interested. It’s called: A Plague Upon Humanity by Darren Barenblatt. Iris Chang actually helped him with getting it published because it was so controversial. Anyway, have fun tonight.
hey! Brian email you?
Hey! You aren’t Korean. How can you judge Koreans?
yo perry..i met you in front of the theater afterwards..the cat with the cornrows…your site has been very helpful for my acting in one way or another…would love to keep base through phone or email and i hope you had a great time…one
Hi! Thanks so much for commenting on my xanga. I really love your movie. It’s really great. Also, Kollaboration sounds awesome. That’s really nice that you’re giving out that info, that would be such a great opportunity, that many people would be so grateful for. You’re a real great guy. Well thanks again for writing on my xanga! I really appreciate it. Have a great day. =0)
hey! I’m a student at The College of New Jersey. I can’t wait to see you here on Thursday esp. after reading about the presentation that you gave to Brown University! Thanks for agreeing to come here to talk to us during Experience Asia month. My friend is sooo excited because you’re in his fraternity and he thinks its so cool. He can’t stop talking about it.
