Star Trek: Then and Now

In the new "Star Trek" movie, John Cho, known most notably from the "Harold and Kumar" films, plays the helmsman Hikaru Sulu. The role was originally portrayed by actor George Takei. Cho said while playing Sulu, "I did feel pressure. You're doing a role that another actor did, and you certainly don't want to dishonor that. And I felt pressure to honor the Star Trekkers, the fans, to do right by them. They're very passionate about this mythology, and you don't want to mess with that," Cho told Hollywood Today.
