Better known for his roles in Harold & Kumar and Star Trek Into Darkness, Korean American actor John Cho is back with a new gig!
Cho will be staring in ABC’s new comedy Selfie alongside Doctor Who actress Karen Gillian.
Written by Suburgatory creator Emily Kapnek, Selfie takes inspiration from My Fair Lady to tell a story of a self-obsessed, social media crazed woman named Eliza who suffers from a highly publicized breakup. Once obsessed with getting likes, she suddenly gains much unwanted attention and “followers” when she becomes the focus of a video gone viral. In order to rid herself of this bad reputation, she looks for help from her company in hopes of repairing her ruined image.
