Strangely, I am ready to watch someone else in addition to Will Yun Lee play Takeshi Kovac. I loved Joel Kinnaman in the show and even became a fan. But l am want to see a new sleeve. Like in Westworld, I want to see Doleres change her body.
They should definitely push this guy as a leading man. Good actor with definite sex appeal. He's got the goods to be a household name. What's up Hollywood?
NeoGeoSNK not everyone in the West thinks that way. I think Will Yun Lee was an incredibly handsome and dynamic Takashi Kovacs, much more sexy than Joel Kinnaman.
@@pinkmonkeybird2644Well unfortunately it's all up to the showrunners. Those are the people that need to be convinced that Asians are fully capable of being lead actors/actresses.
I'm soo in love with this guy! He was soo effective in Falling Water, I wanted to reach in and release him. In Altered Carbon he absolutely shows his leading man ability. I hope more diverse actors start getting better roles in light of Black Panther etc
Deborah Walker : When have u ever seen non-blk minorities advocate like this for black people? Black people want to cap for every group even though blacks are not in a good shape themselves. smh
I like more him than the original actor for the protagonist. I hope to see him much more. If he gets cloned the Asian version need to be the survivor. haha
Yoo Hoo I don't mind Anthony Mackie in general but his acting in the dramatic scenes were really cringe. This guy was much better. His acting didn't seem forced lol
This guy is a COOL guy, humble and friendly. He’d come in and given me a demo ten years ago when I was casting a show (money fell through) and out of all the demos I’d received. His was the only one I still have. Still have his headshot too, I think.
He was wonderful in Altered Carbon. Been a fan of this guy since I saw the series Witchblade in 2001-2. He was young then and so beautiful. Hardly any different now. Took me quite a few episodes of Hawaii five-0 to realise he was the sleezy CI, Sang Min. Looked so different and moved so differently too. Great actor. PS. Wish someone would do a reboot of Witchblade. Loved the premise of that graphic novel/show.
@@ThangVu-kw6zd not at all man. I absolutely loved season 1 and was really excited for season 2. I went into it expecting to love it, but it just came across as poorly written, poorly acted and overall average in quality. Trust me, I wanted to love it...
I like how he stays this calm, collected individuals. In today's industry, interviewees tend to become overly-amicable, acting like they're on Conan or something. Lee here, he stays in his lane of normalcy and acts natural - which is being relatively level-headed, polite, but dignified.
He is 47 here. Man is blessed by the perennial youth gene- his voice and looks are naturally youthful despite late middle age. I can see how Wei Shen was modelled after him !

The beauty of the concept of DHFs is the inherently plot friendly variability of sleeves. Joel was great but Riker should get his sleeve back now that he was exonerated.
Both seasons were fantastic....for different reasons. i marathoned both seasons the day they came out and have watched the entire 1st season 4 times. Only other series i have done with are Robotech, Fringe, and Cowboy Bebop
He has been my favorite actor since the Falling Water and I was like YES! when I found him in the drama. He is cool, handsome and very good at expressions-he can tell what the character think from his eyes movement and can tell how the character feel by his wrinkles. I can’t wait next season and I definitely hope he will be the sleeve for Takeshi in the next season!
Paris Rome Martha’s acting is unbearable to watch! Ortega is an annoying ass character to start off with and then add Martha’s shitty acting on top of that? UGH! 😒
The 7th episode with this guy was the brightest spot in the whole series. The white Kovac has the same expression most of the time and I could not hear his lines as he mumbles.
That's my favorite episode of the whole season. I watch it all the time. Never understood why he Will Yun Lee never took off as an major block buster actor before! He's really good.
![NOSFERATU - Official Trailer [HD] - Only In Theaters December 25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nulvWqYUM8k/mqdefault.jpg)
His performance was *so* moving, especially in the later episodes. I really hope to see him back for another season!
Supernaturlisch
I hope Tak is able to get his body/clone body next season
Check the season 2 trailer, he's back
You got your wish, he was great in season 2!
This man is almost 50. Take that in...
WOOOOOOW (I'd LUV to take TAK in...) lol
Lori Jamroz wtf
Wait what!? Really? Seriously are white people the only ones aging anymore 😆
Asian don't raisin
I loved Joel and Byron Mann as Takeshi Kovacs but Will Yun Lee stole my heart. He is just special.

WEI WEI WEI
Hey there ..! Thanks for support and love so far without you my super fans I wouldn’t have been here ...!!
This guy is almost 50 years old but looks like 30
What?!??!!!
Ehhh, he looks like he's in his 40s, but he does look DAMN GOOD. Anthony Mackie, too. I gotta get some TRT when I hit 40 lol
No he definitely looks 50
@@Haldinyar wtf ??? Sure youre Not blind?
Asian genetics most of the time help you look younger.
Loved him in Altered Carbon and loved him as Wei Shen in Sleeping Dogs!
Oh Damn! That's why his voice seems so familiar! Loved sleeping dogs.
We NEED a Sleeping Dogs 2, shame the studio shut down :(
WALZ97 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Epiphany I met will yun lee in person. He is a cool nice dude
HE IS WEI SHEN?! didnt knew that
They should definitely push this guy as a leading man. Good actor with definite sex appeal. He's got the goods to be a household name. What's up Hollywood?
Tracey C You are absolutely right! He should be!
Racism and quotas... Hate this industry! Hope to see more of him cuz he was brilliant!

@@pinkmonkeybird2644 ooooh an unpopular opinion, a welcome one though
@@pinkmonkeybird2644Well unfortunately it's all up to the showrunners. Those are the people that need to be convinced that Asians are fully capable of being lead actors/actresses.
This dude is fresh, out of the 3 "Kovacs" I found myself wanting Will Yun Lee to win whatever scenario he was involved in!
Why don't they center a season with him as the lead?? This guy is so charasmatic and enoyable to watch.
If Altered Carbon has a third season, please make him the lead, really want to see how he turn out..
Best performance in Altered Carbon! His Takeshi Kovacs moved me to tears. Formidable.
TOTALLY AGREE!!
Word!!!!!
And it’s telling since he’s the original embodiment of the character
Underrated actor. Everything hes in, he kills it.
He looks young for a 280+ years old
Oh snap it's Wei Shen!
Will was fantastic in Altered Carbon!! 😍
He is awesome as Kovac in Altered Carbon S1 and S2, we got more of him in S2 and i hope is the full season of S3
Kung Lao from Mortal Kombat X and Wei Shen from Sleeping Dogs
Ooooohhhh
I'm soo in love with this guy! He was soo effective in Falling Water, I wanted to reach in and release him. In Altered Carbon he absolutely shows his leading man ability. I hope more diverse actors start getting better roles in light of Black Panther etc

I was so happy he was back for season two, he was the one I wanted to come back the most.
Kovac rankings:
1) white dude
2) Asian OG
3) female lounge singer
4) Anthony Mackie
I like more him than the original actor for the protagonist. I hope to see him much more. If he gets cloned the Asian version need to be the survivor. haha
I'm not Asian whatsoever, I just like this dude.
He and Joel Kinnaman count as the orginal actor for Kovacs
Yoo Hoo I don't mind Anthony Mackie in general but his acting in the dramatic scenes were really cringe. This guy was much better. His acting didn't seem forced lol
If Marvel make a Shang-Chi Netflix series, cast this man please.
they will and it's another actor
Huh
.... Buff as shit LOL. I really liked his character's re-growth this season. I hope Takeshi Prime is the main protagonist for season 3

Jason Statham interviewing Takeshi Kovacs
He didnt really go into details on how he lost the weight, just said "stopped eating all the things I like to eat"...
Am I the only one who thinks season 2 is really really week compared to season 1??
I liked it a hell lot. I didn't read the book but I feel like people hate it just for the fck of hating it tho
@@ThangVu-kw6zd not at all man. I absolutely loved season 1 and was really excited for season 2. I went into it expecting to love it, but it just came across as poorly written, poorly acted and overall average in quality. Trust me, I wanted to love it...
The title should be How Jason Statham lost 30lbs for 'THR interview'
I have seen quite a handful of your comments, thank you for your loyalty and support.
I'll forever miss ALTERED CARBON
This show was very strong.
I like how he stays this calm, collected individuals. In today's industry, interviewees tend to become overly-amicable, acting like they're on Conan or something. Lee here, he stays in his lane of normalcy and acts natural - which is being relatively level-headed, polite, but dignified.
Interviewer looks like cross between Ron Howard and Jason Statham.
He is 47 here. Man is blessed by the perennial youth gene- his voice and looks are naturally youthful despite late middle age. I can see how Wei Shen was modelled after him !
Really liked this actor's performance but the interviewer is kind of annoying
really hope Takeshi Prime is the protagonist for the third season if they’re ever doing one!
he isnt, they will stay true to the books
@@DaxRaider They haven't followed the books very closely so far so they could do whatever with the third season
What a sleeve man!
He is the same guy who voiced Wei Shen in the game Sleeping Dogs. This guy is awesome.
This show was Joel Kinnaman's best appearance, it would be a shame not to bring him back in season 2 with big screen time.
Strangely, I am ready to watch someone else in addition to Will Yun Lee play Takeshi Kovac. I loved Joel Kinnaman in the show and even became a fan. But l am want to see a new sleeve. Like in Westworld, I want to see Doleres change her body.
@@lullaby508 It's going to be Anthony Mackie for season two.

Does season 2 get better after episode 2? Tapped out because it sucked balls compared to season 1
Bboy Corrosive nah don’t bother watching it because your attention is shit
Nope, its pretty bad honestly
The Mysterious Kung Lao
The interviewer is a cross between Jason Statham and ryan reynolds lol
I think he just stopped eating all those pork buns..
He is fantastic
WYL is best Kovacs. Would love to see a couple scenes with kinnaman and him
He was friggin jacked for the role.
This dude. Go watch season 2 NOW, you guys.
Aye wei shen
Wei shen my guy!!!
Love you.
Love from India 🇮🇳❤️
People really skip his sleeping dogs character. He was amazing.
Asian shorter version of Keanu Reeves lol
I watched Will Yun Lee in the movie San Andreas. I also saw him in an episode of Dr. Ken. He makes a guest appearance in the episode.
Both seasons were fantastic....for different reasons. i marathoned both seasons the day they came out and have watched the entire 1st season 4 times. Only other series i have done with are Robotech, Fringe, and Cowboy Bebop
Wu Zi Mu from GTA SA
well done dude, super amazing performance, and he's def defying aging
Hello fan
He was probably the best part of season two
It’s Wei
wow this guy comes across like the Korean version Keanu Reeves ie a super nice guy
You must be a very dangerous man Wei Shen
Hey there ..! Thanks for support and love so far without you my super fans I wouldn’t have been here ...!!
Dave Fennoy, Melissa Hutchison, Parry Shen, Will Yun Lee is my favourite actors ever!
I need more. Altered Carbon, The Witcher, You can do it NETFLIX
We got better call saul for now
Wei shen ❤
Wei I thought you said you weren't gonna go back to the States
Will yun Lee is on of my favorite actors of all time👑👑👑
I'm a huge fan of this man, Sleeping Dogs (game) made me watch everything he starred in.
Always will think of him as Wei Shen from sleeping dogs. Legend
Will Yun Lee is like a cross between Jackie Chan and Hiroyuki Sanada.
He has been my favorite actor since the Falling Water and I was like YES! when I found him in the drama. He is cool, handsome and very good at expressions-he can tell what the character think from his eyes movement and can tell how the character feel by his wrinkles.

Play Sleeping Dogs.
築島渉 He’s in season 2
WEI FUCKING SHEN in the flesh!
he looks like me from all the smoking and drinking. Im 25..
“Would swap with his dad”. Much respect. ✌🏻
Should have gained weight, not lost it.
Great actor I love all the actors in Altered Carbon except Martha, she seems very nice but her acting is hard to watch
Paris Rome Martha’s acting is unbearable to watch! Ortega is an annoying ass character to start off with and then add Martha’s shitty acting on top of that? UGH! 😒
Fuck love this guy, Wei Shen

The bald guy could be Jason Statham stunt double.
Wei Shen no shit
You’re an interesting man, Wei Shen
Wei Shen is here
They 2 have very different accents. Kovacs Prime looks cool!
Could you have subtitles in Russian and other languages? Do you think that there are no other languages in the world besides English? Annoy.
Props to him and the other who played Kovacs. Loved it🤙🏿
TAKESHI KOVACHS!!!! WE LUV YOU!!~(ALTERED CARBON IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! EVER!! SERIES!!!)~PLEASE GIVE US MORE!!MORE!! MORREE!!! YESSS
Wei shen!!
One of the best actors from the early 2000s and my childhood.
Will yun lee = Wei shen
How come he’s not in any mainstream interviews? Or is that a Netflix thing?
Wei Shen in the flesh
I am glad Ron Howard found a job, and accent, interviewing people.
Ohh shit its Wei Shen
All I see is sang min
Hi Mr. Shen!
Phenomenal performance in Altered Carbon!
The " original " takeshi Kovacs
S3 you better be the main Kovacs
Weightloss talk starts around 2:30.
That's a beautiful man (no homo)
I love Will with 26lbs or without 🤗
wei shen
