TV EQUALS: Exclusive Interview: The Mentalist’s Tim Kang aka Kimball Cho Talks About The Summer-Cho Moment, Hot & Heavy Scenes and Game of Thrones
There is no business like Cho business.
Nothing exemplifies that more than the The Mentalist episode “At First Blush” in which the always straightforward and serious CBI agent Kimball Cho broke down and admitted that he liked Summer, the quirky and intriguing stripper/informant played by the delightful Samaire Armstrong.
In an exclusive interview to TV Equals, the very gracious Tim Kang talks about the Cho and Summer heart-stopping kiss, what viewers can expect in the upcoming episodes (apparently it’s going to be hot & heavy) and his new production company, One Shoot Films.
Check out what he had to say below...
... Q: Are you okay with not knowing every fact about your character or everything that’s going to happen to your character when you start out?
Tim Kang: "For me it’s something where ideally we would have all that information and we would’ve had it well in advance and we’d have the final shooting draft in our hands. But the vagaries of production and the script writing just make it so that we have to change things on the fly. Storylines change on the fly. Lines change. I get handed Owain [Yeoman] and Amanda’s [Righetti] or Robin’s [Tunney] lines and they get handed mine, just by the nature of the way that we do things and we have to remain flexible. In fact, this week’s shooting schedule was completely turned upside down and I’m going to work when I should have the day off. So, we have to make ourselves available for that kind of flexibility..."
The Mentalist airs Thursday at 10/9C on CBS.
