Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Jin (who is Korean) was born in South Korea but raised in the US. iirc Yunjin Kim (Sun) helped him learn enough Korean to do his lines. He's also Johnny Gat in Saints Row

I always loved this tidbit because his whole character is about how she speaks english but he doesn't. Like why on earth would you not cast it the other way around. But not knowing a word of Korean I really thought he was one of the most solid actors of the bunch. Also, Daniel Dae Kim is fiiiiiine.

Especially since the character of Sun was apparently created just for her - she auditioned for Kate and didn't get it, but the producers liked her so much they wanted to include her. But I guess the fact that she speaks English is what changes the power dynamic and makes her an interesting character: she has an ill-tempered husband that is forced to work as a hitman by her ultra-traditional and very powerful father, she's totally controlled by men, but then on the island it's all like "hah, you need me now Jin because I can communicate with the other survivors and you can't". Pretty difficult to swap the genders given the conservative background they're supposed to have come from.

Sun and Jin had the best arc on  Also both him and Sawyer had really great swings of love them hate them love them hate them but they were always compelling.

Oh yeah, I totally agree!. The whole thing wouldn't have worked if they reversed the genders and I can see why they made a role specifically for her because she is a grade A+ actress. They were absolutely perfect in their roles and the chemistry was amazing. It's just a really trippy thing to know after the fact. When I hear the "sad LOST theme" I always picture their last scene together.Their arc was the only one that could have been it's own tv series.

I'm sure at least one of those times was the writers getting bored and horny and writing their fetishes into an episode.

There was a 99% invisible episode about casting by looks that featured a Casting Director wigging out in Manhattan for a sec because there were more blondes on the street than brunettes and apparently people think blondes in New York is unrealistic.

In fairness to Roddenberry, when Stewart was cast, he (Roddenberry) was asked, "Wouldn't they have cured baldness in the future?" and Roddenberry's meant to have replied, "In the future, they wouldn't care."

According to Gene, there is no interpersonal conflict in the future, including mourning for the dead. But there needs to be an extra seat on the bridge for the ship's therapist.

They should have at least used those looks in an alternate reality episode. Maybe the one where Q gives Picard the chance to change history so he never got stabbed by a Klingon. It turns out that not having that experience leaves him a boring, cautious man, but with a lustrous head of hair. Picard must choose between his career and the bitching mullet he's always wanted.
