I find it pretty ironic that 40 years later, they have to resort to someone Chinese as there are no other Japanese or Asian actors of sufficient prominence to take a role. *

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that in his comments about not being able to find a Japanese actor of promince to play Sulu, he precludes two Chinese guys because they are Kung-Fu types, instead of because they aren't Japanese!
