Edward Chen (actor) Puns

Has anyone had professor Chen for this class? I was also wondering if there were any alternative professors I could take instead of him?

#Yung Chen-Edwards

###Background:

Yung was an athletic kid growing up. He participated in many competitions and won lots of prizes. This was because he was picked on a lot at school for being half-Asian and half-white. He never let it bother him. He decided to throw himself into his work instead, but that only allowed the bullies to make jokes about 'an Asian doing well in school' so he stopped. He still got good grades, just not good enough to be picked on for it. Instead he focused on sports. He did any sport available and always made time because of his lack of friends. Whenever one season ended he would pick up another sport when that season began. He would've been popular for it, but he never made time to have friends. He was too invested. He had stopped caring about pushing his problems away and just loved playing. This went on through his entire school career. He got a scholarship for almost every sport possible without even trying to. He had his pick of the litter. He didn't care. He chose best school he could get into, but not because he wanted to, but because his parents wanted him to.

During his time in college his parents started having trouble in their relationship. They were getting a divorce and Yung was devastated. He thought about dropping out but his coach talked him out of it. He took a semester abroad instead. There he started to learn martial arts and realized he shouldn't be ashamed by his heritage. When he came back he was a new man. He did what he did best, buried his problems by working hard. Only this time he also worked hard academically. He got his masters and then worked for a doctorate. He was interrupted though by The Agency. They felt that he was necessary to have. They recruited him and he became an official agent.

Unlike most agents in The Agency who only used college as a cover and never actually continued learning, Yung wanted to finish what he started. He had The Agency give the supplies, resources and teachers he needed and finished his doctorate while working for them. They even transferred his credits. Despite the distractions, Yung became The Agency's best non-metahuman recruit. Yung even joined The Agency's best team, being the being only normal human member. The team was of The Agency's four best operatives.

Even with all this Yung felt inferior to the amazing metahumans and would always try to prove himself(which he always did). So he started to train again and even harder then ever before, though this

[I had a theory that certain scenes had been cut from the found footage, like when the ladies first try and escape through the tunnels, and edward chases them backwards, the tape cuts they've escaped to outside. It happened again, Lee and Audrey were at the Polks, then boom, in the basement of the house. Where's the rest of the footage. I'm dying to see more of Edward's tunnels. I really feel like we still aren't seeing the whole truth and that we're missing scenes.

Also, why didn't the Chen's and/or pigman attack Lee and Audrey in the bedroom or rest of the house? Maybe they grabbed some teeth?

Also also, I guess Edward really did help Matt and Shelby in the tunnels the first time. Since when Shelby and Dom tried to go that way, they heard sounds and Shelby said that "if it's Edward he may help us". But it was the Chen's... Maybe the butcher didn't want Edward helping anyone again and posted the Chen's down there to prevent anymore escapes.] (/spoiler)

Come on folks, spill the names if you have any BL actor crushes :]
Where do I start... Well well, for me, there's been too many, but lately I'm especially charmed by Pawin Kulkaranyawich. I'll be frank, his character in MGYG is pretty low-key and not that interesting (he looked great in glasses though). BUT, when I saw him in The Stranded, I fell in love! There, his character completely stole my attention. Such a silly and interesting and powerful presence! Then there's that one scene in The Stranded... whoever watched the series will know for sure what I mean by 'that one scene' 👀 Anyway... where was I... Right! He's quite lovely and joyful in interviews too, I really wish GMMTV would give him a more expressive role, cause his character in MGYG was too subdued, and he's definitely capable of much more.

For me it was Temuera Morrison as Jake "The Muss" Heke In the movie, “Once Were Warriors.” Every time he appeared on screen, I was on the edge of my seat with a mixture of fear and trepidation. The guy was a truly frightening and edgy character. You could argue that he wasn’t necessarily a total “bad guy.” But Damn. He definitely had his moments. An awesome performance.

So, every now and then, not the main actors, but an actor in a relatively smaller role is so good they steal either a scene, or a sequence, or even an entire movie.

In your opinions, what are good examples of these.

A couple of the top of my head:

The character Kid Blue in Looper. Although he seems to be considered stupid in the film by most of the other characters, he really seems to keep getting ahead and outsmarting others (although he always ends up screwing it up again).

Bill Murray in a very small role in Little Shops of Horrors. Steve Martin is the lunatic dentist who likes to scare and cause pain in his patients, but then out of nowhere, Bill Murray comes in and totally flips things on their head. He enjoys pain and wants the dentist to do his worst.

I know I have a lot more examples, I just can't think of them at the moment. If I do, I'll keep adding them to the list, but I would like to hear about your own.

EDIT:

Some good answers, but some people clearly don't even understand the question.

EDIT:

How in the hell did this post blow up so much?

EDIT:

I just remembered a good one. The character of Ellis in the first Die Hard movie.

Viggo Mortensen in Daylight

Top 3 Offenders

Dr Strange: Sounds like he's over emphasizes certain inflections on softer A sounds on words can't handle what

Power of the Dog: I'm not sure if he was going for a modern regional Montana accent or trying to go more southern cowboy. Either way complete miss

Black Mass: I suppose Boston has a notoriously difficult accent to nail but it was a bad enough attempt that they should've just hired another actor. He didn't have a lot of dialogue but what lines he did have he kinda mumbled through them

I’m actor Wallace Shawn. You might know me as Vizzini from the Princess Bride or Dr. Sturgis in Young Sheldon, but I also play the lead in Rifkin’s Festival, out Friday, 1/28 in theaters and on digital. I don’t own a TV.

Now, ask me anything!

UPDATE: I'm out of time today! Thank you to each of you who took the time to ask me a question and thank you to Daniela for helping me type. Please enjoy Rifkin's Festival as much as I enjoyed making it. Take care!

If you'd have told me when I was a kid that the guy from "Swingers" was going to usher in the Marvel cinematic universe, redefine the "Star Wars" universe and create one of the most beloved Christmas movies of all time, I'd have probably though you were talking about Vince Vaughn lol. Kudos to Jon Favreau!

The MCU will eventually have every actor in Hollywood so which actor would ruin the MCU for you?

For me it will be weird seeing Will Smith in the MCU since he seems like the last person on Earth to be in an MCU film even though he's acted in superhero and sci-fi genre block busters before.
