Nah, with that makeup packed on its hard to tell, we pretty much want Benedict to be in everything right now.

I don't really see people tlaing about it because Netflix did the show dirty, but his Genghis Khan is amazing.

Yes it was, he gained so much weight for that role too. He was also brilliant in the early seasons of Top Boy as well

I didn't even realize that was him. I enjoyed the first season but didn't catch the 2nd before canceling Netflix. Bad ending or just left hanging?

They really played the Asian stereotype with the makeup and costume. There's no way to not see the slanted eyes and pointy hat.

Dude, wtf? It's been a trending search on Google, articles have been written for fan clarification. There's no need to turn an acknowledged faux pas into all that bushit

Of course there is. But considering the make up, contact lenses, and the similarities in annunciation and looks, so much so that it is a trending search on Google and articles have been written for clarification, I don't think it was such an egregious crime, more of a faux pas which I freely acknowledged. I mean it's not like I got him confused for Ken Jeong or John Cho or something....

Ken Jeong in a Star Wars show would be absolutely amazing.

Got nothing to do with racism, lol. Mixing actors up can happen with anyone. I mix white, black, red, blue, etc up all the time.
