“I think he’s a great actor,” Ben Stiller said of Reggie Lee, the Filipino-American thespian he directs in the action comedy “Tropic Thunder.”
Ben, who also stars in “Tropic Thunder,” was effusive in his praise for Reggie when we asked about the Quezon City-born actor in a recent interview at the Four Seasons Hotel. Reggie, whose credits include “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” (he played Tai Huang), “The Fast and the Furious” (Lance Nguyen) and TV’s “Prison Break” (Secret Service Agent Bill Kim), plays Byong, first lieutenant of a drug-manufacturing guerrilla army in the Golden Triangle that encounters pampered Hollywood stars doing a war movie in the jungle.
These self-absorbed Tinseltown denizens who find themselves in a real war are played by Ben, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, Jay Baruchel and Brandon T. Jackson. When Reggie’s character and his very young drug lord boss, Tran (played by the newcomer Brandon Soo Hoo) capture Ben’s Tugg Speedman, they learn that he is the star of their favorite movie, “Simple Jack,” where Tugg, in his desperate bid for an Oscar, plays a mentally challenged farmhand. The guerrillas force Tugg to re-enact “Simple Jack” as nightly entertainment. |
