Let’s give a shout out to Ken Leung for landing a role in Marvel’s Inhumans. It was announced today that he’ll be playing the all powerful Karnak. The show continues to round up cast members at a high rate and Leung brings yet another awesome dimension to the show. Introduced as Black Bolt’s oldest cousin and closest advisor in the comics, Karnak touts an ability to see the fault in everything. Here’s a direct quote about Leung playing the character from Scott Buck, the executive producer:
“Ken brings both a wisdom and a power to the role that no one else could match. His Karnak will be awesome,” said Marvel head of television and executive producer, Jeph Loeb. Showrunner and executive producer Scott Buck added: “Ken Leung has a great natural intelligence that reads clearly and will add depth and complexity to the very complicated character of Karnak.”
Leung is probably best known for his role on Lost but I just wanted pay respect to what I think is far and away Leung’s best role of his career. If you’ve ever seen the movie Keeping The Faith which was a comedy starring Ed Norton and Ben Stiller as a priest and rabbit who are best friends, then you might have seen this moment in the film. If not, you’re in for a treat.
Leung plays a salesman in an electronics store pretending to have an Asian accent. It’s incredible.
