It was weird, flattering and a little scary. The lady and her granddaughter trailed behind and didn’t turn around until I was about to get onto the tower’s elevator. After I made my leis, I took the long stroll back to the tower where our room was located (which required passing through a very lovely garden and pond with swans). Three minutes later, “Are you sure?” Oh, yes, I am quite sure. After about 15 minutes of staring, the grandmother finally asked me, “Has anyone told you that you look like that actress on ER, you know, the Asian one? I can’t remember her name.” Huh? ermm… Before I could really answer, she asked, “ARE you that actress from ER? Hehe, no, no. I was beggining to think if I had something on my face. Also there were a young girl and her grandmother, who would not stop staring at me.

This incident reminds me of a couple of other incidents where people thought I looked like actress Ming-Na Wen of ER, the Joy Luck Club (great movie and book, btw), and now apparently Stargate Universe.

After a quite internet search, I assume the airport woman meant Naoki Mori.

I wasn’t sure if I really did resemble the actress since I’ve never seen the show, or if it was one of those things where some non-Asians think that most Asians look alike. She then said, at the least, I look like her sister. Two weeks ago, while at the Portland Airport, waiting for my return flight home from Sock Summit, a woman plopped herself next to me and insisted that I looked exactly like the Asian actress from the BBC show Torchwood. What she finds is a team of dedicated young oddballs whom nobody in the world seems to know exists: a charming hedonist of a medic (Burn Gorman), a beautiful tech geek (Naoko Mori), a brainy alien expert (Indira Varma) and a shifty receptionist (Gareth David-Lloyd).Naoko Mori at Comic-Con, photo from Ewen and Donnabel's Flickr He works in Episode 1 to control the damage when an overly curious policewoman, Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles), stumbles onto their futuristic underground lair after having witnessed the resurrection of a murder victim using a special reanimating glove. The charismatic mystery dude who presides over this motley crew, Captain Jack Harkness (Barrowman), looks 30 years old despite having apparently been killed during World War II. They work for good under the guise of evil, privy as they are to Area 51-style alien info and absurdly advanced technology as they battle the monstrous flotsam and jetsam of both the extraterrestrial and human worlds here on Earth.

It doesn’t hurt that the male lead, the mega-intense John Barrowman, is a dead-ringer for the young Tom Cruise. LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - “Torchwood” is so unsettling and creepy that even sci-fi skeptics will fall under its spell.
