Taiwan's Jay Chou cast as Kato in "Green Hornet"

It's a role that introduced U.S. audiences to Bruce Lee, and now Taiwanese singer and actor Jay Chou will play martial arts master Kato in an upcoming movie version of "The Green Hornet," a studio said on Friday.

He has also starred in a number Chinese films, including last year's "Kung Fu Dunk" about a martial arts expert who takes to basketball and flies to the hoop.

I don't know anything about him!

Jay Chou is excessively huge in Taiwan not as big in Mainland for obvious reasons.

He's mostly known for his music his last album "Capricorn" 魔杰座
Was an awesome album I definitely would recommend.

But his acting needs a little work however but hey he's still pretty cool. However casting as Kato ehhh I'm not to sure if he has what it takes. Not to dis him because he's one of my favorite C-pop artist.

He's played in movies such as:

功夫灌籃 my personal favorite.
Initial D also very cool.
不能說的秘密 that movie was awesome! Kinda emotional love story however.
滿城盡帶黃金甲 That movie was decent, also known as "Curse of the Golden Flower" or something like that

And a few other movies that were of decent quality.

"Curse of the Golden Flower"

Well I guess with a black mask and chauffeur's hat he might look good... but is he a MA-ist? Not an actor trained in some MA...

You have no confidence because Seth Rogen is playing a superhero. Neither do I by the by.
