Believe it or not Ken Jeong is a Doctor. Yep, it’s true. But he is famous for treating us with the best medicine in the world… “Laughter”. If you have enjoyed Hangover, then you know who this guy is. (Actually you can’t take the image off your mind can you? It’s burned to your eyes).
Well, Ken Jeong is in the next Michael Bay Transformers Movie; Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Recently he spoke a little bit about his experience on the Transformers 3 set with CraveOnline.
CraveOnline: Do you get a cool role in Transformers 3?Ken Jeong: Yeah, it’s a small role in Transformers but yeah. I had an out of body experience working on that one because I just couldn’t believe I was [there]. Still, that was not a thing where oh, I’m going to be a part of a blockbuster franchise like Transformers 3 or even now Hangover 2 for that matter. So I can’t believe I’m a part of these franchises in any way. It was amazing. Michael Bay is brilliant and it’ll blow your mind.
CraveOnline: I’ve been on Michael Bay sets including Transformers 1. He keeps things so riled up, I see how it can be misconstrued, but it’s high energy.
Ken Jeong: He doesn’t like things to wait and neither do I. You want to keep moving, you want to keep the pace, you want to keep the energy. That I respond to because Todd’s like that too. Because you want that comedic energy to stay fresh. Especially on movies when there’s huge budgets and huge effects, you worry about spontaneity being lost. Yeah, Michael Bay just kept everything going.

I'm "sensing" someone's gonna end up under Starscream's foot.
"Primus! He's even more irritating than I am!"
As I said in another thread, however, I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to movies…

It's called an opinion, dude.

I cannot recall one thing that was funny or slightly entertaining about this man in The Hangover. I'm just going to come out and scream the sky is falling. His role will be another failed attempt at humor a la Rainn Wilson or Anthony Anderson.

YESSSS!!!! Senior Chang is going to be on DOTM

I'd say that's being pretty generous. He was tolerable, sure.

He already played a doctor in Knocked Up.

I agree. He was hilarious in Role Models… LoL

As long as he isn't his regular over-stereotyped Asian guy (The Hangover, Pineapple Express) with the crazy accent, and is just a regular funny character (Role Models). I think he'll work fine in TF.

What is he doing? Does he play a used Autobot salesperson?

Dr.Ken Jeong is friggin awesome, one of 4 things to look foward to in DOTM, the other three are John Malkovich, Sentinel Prime and Shockwave.

Maybe he hides in Barricade's trunk and jumps on Sam completely naked…
He could be Frenzy's replacement

I liked this guy in "The Hangover" and hope he'll have his clothes on for whatever part he plays in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon." Besides TF3, I'm looking forward to the a-fore mentioned "Hangover" movie's sequel in a couple of months as well as the "Green Lantern" film as my main must see flicks this year.

No, since the Hangover 2 will actually be good.

Is it sad I'm looking forward to Hangover 2 more than Transformers 3?
