Finishing The Game: The Search For A New Bruce Lee Page #4

---

But on to the new Bruce Lee.

So, I' m thinking...

Here's what I'm thinking.

A loud, intimidating type,

like a... like a...

like a hip Genghis Khan,

you know?

Well, he needs to be the silent, calm type

with an inner strength.

Oh, yeah. Of course.

Well, that's what I meant.

You know, I don't mean "loud"

in, like, a volume sort of way,

like, "I'm Bruce Lee,"

screaming.

I meant that he has

an intense internal power.

Ronney... When you work with

these young directors,

you very often have to

give them what they need,

even though

they're not aware they need it.

You know, 90% of filmmaking,

it's the casting.

So this is the time

to lend my support to a young director.

You know, give him

my years of experience. Right now.

Well,

I love open auditions.

All bets are off

and anything is possible.

You never know when you might discover

the next Pat Morita

or the new Esther Rolle.

You got a great look.

Great look.

Roy Thunder, talent manager.

"Colored people"?

Last time I checked,

yellow was a color, my man.

The casting process isn't about

which of us is better than the other

or who's more right for the part.

Honestly, it all comes down to

covering your bases.

For example,

I happen to know

Cassie thinks I'm a great lay.

She rode me for six days last summer,

I got a spot on "Sanford and Son."

Now, that may be a coincidence,

but I'm not willing to

take the chance that it was.

You are the best in the room.

You are filled with strength

and power.

But all around you is weakness

and insecurity.

They are afraid of you because

they all know that the part is yours.

Open your eyes

and look at them.

Really look at them.

They're weak.

Weak.

Hey, is...

Hey, I think that's Breeze Loo.

Cole? Cole,

you're disrupting my exercise.

- But it's Breeze Loo!

- Who cares? You're Cole Kim.

- I gotta go meet him.

- Well, he's the competition.

But he's Breeze Loo!

Solid, baby. Solid.

Peace.

- Hey, Mr. Loo.

- Hey, brother.

- My name is Cole Kim and I'm a big fan.

- Very cool.

Yeah, I love Fist of Fhrer and

I've seen Exit the Serpent, like, 17 times.

- Oh, that's a lot of times, brother.

- And your moves, they're, like, flawless.

Yeah, how do you kick three guys

at the same time?

Oh. Saraghina,

Mr. Breeze Loo.

It was like he was sleeping

with the enemy. I couldn't believe it.

Oh, I didn't think it was a big deal.

He was a nice guy.

It made you soft.

- It made you lose your edge.

- Edge?

Yeah, you asked him

to autograph your shirt.

Well, what else

was he supposed to sign?

Cole, come on.

Look, imagine you saw Warren Beatty.

I mean, what would you do?

OK, Breeze Loo

is no Warren Beatty.

He can beat up three guys
