Jang Dong Gun in the USA for "Warriors Way"

Last month I had the privilege of shooting Korean star Jang Dong Gun here for his publicity tour for "Warriors Way" now I have not seen the movie but I hear it had some cool effects. I know that out in Asia there are obviously many good looking Asian actors and models with great leading roles.... however we here struggle to maintain an Asian identity as well as be "American" I love the fact that there are some Asian stars and sex symbols that Asian Americans can look up to. Not just what America thinks is Asian!!  I am sure that is why not even the biggest names have not made it here as "just an actor" Jackie Chan  (maybe) , Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat...... generally speaking America just does not or will not write them in decent non stereotypical roles!!   Asian models I think would have a much better chance. just recently  Asian American band Far East Movement reached #1 in internet downloads and I tunes..... huge step for us!! no news in Asia , but we here all knew about it!!      So as far as the photo shoot went we had 2 hours to shoot a cover and 8 pages. He was very easy to work with and made the shoot so much easier. I wanted to bring out a different side to him, a more personable side that many do not see because of his good looks I suppose. Here Is a "behind the scenes" clip on CNN. And on a funny note he only had a few hours sleep so he used my bedroom as a place to change and rest!!  Never expected him to be in my room..... sorry ladies !!   I hope when I return to Asia this year I can shoot more editorials publicity and fashion. Anyone have any cool ideas or coming to America soon???? Video: http://www.shanesato.com/productions/S-sato_clip.mov
