When Sung Kang stopped by Deadline’s New Hollywood Podcast, we learned a lot about his return to the Fast and Furious franchise with F9, which Universal will release in theaters June 25. He also shared a lot about his time in Hollywood.
First thing’s first, he introduced us to his dog, Daeji who is a star all by himself. From there, Kang talked about his early days in film and TV which included an “embellished” management firm as well as his role in the 2002 groundbreaking Sundance pic Better Luck Tomorrow directed by Justin Lin. The ahead-of-its-time drama was bolstering Asian representation in film before Hollywood realized diverse storytelling was something people wanted. And let’s not forget — Better Luck Tomorrow is unofficially part of the Fast & Furious universe. To many, it’s considered a prequel to the first Fast & Furious movie which debuted in 2001.
Fast-forward to 2021, Kang...
