I have a secret

Okay, I have to come clean. There's something that I've been hiding from all of your in the blogocube. It's really embarrassing, but I think it's time for people to know. Yes it's true, I was originally cast on the popular WB show, Dawson's Creek. I was brought on to the show initially because I accidentally walked onto the set during a filming session in Wilmington, North Carolina. Since the show's budget was so tight, they had no choice but to write me into the script.

My character's name was Ben Lee and I was the only Asian kid at Capeside High. I was actually going to be a non-stereotypical Asian boy with blond hair. In fact, a subplot written for me was that I was Joey's ex-boyfriend, but I turned it down because at the time I didn't know that Joey was actually a girl. Unfortunately, the execs later cut me out after my Christian Bale-like tirade over not having enough red M&Ms in my trailer and I never finished filming the pilot. Later on, they burned down my trailer and all footage containing me and they re-shot the pilot without me. I did manage to salvage a photo as I was escaping my burning trailer. Here is the picture if you're interested.

This was the original promo photo. (They photoshopped my hair back to black to lure in the teen Asian-American demographic.)

They actually tried bringing me back in for a few episodes to launch a spin-off called "Young Americans," but due to creative differences (I wanted to call the show "Young ABCs") and lack of red M&Ms, I left the show, this time on my own terms and they changed my character from Ben Lee to Will Krudski. So now that you all know my deepest darkest secret, I think it's time for us to play some foosball.
