“Glee” star Harry Shum Jr. sure likes to keep himself busy as the actor has been cast for an upcoming action-drama film, “Revenge of the Green Dragons.”
Best known for his role as Mike Chang in the hit TV series “Glee”, Harry Shum Jr. will take on a supporting role in the film.
The film mainly focuses on the story of Sonny Lau (played by Justin Chon) who joined Chinatown gang, “The Green Dragons”, with his brother Steven (played by Kevin Wu), and was forced to turn against the gang after receiving unwanted attention of city cops and an ill-fated love affair.
The film is inspired by Frederick Dannen’s New Yorker article chronicling Asian-American gang life between the 80s and the 90s in New York city. It was directed by Andrew Lau and Andrew Loo, and executive produced by Martin Scorsese (The Wolf of Wall Street).
