omfg guys, this is sulu’s husband in star trek:
- his name is Doug Jung
- HE’S THE COWRITER OF STAR TREK BEYOND
- he wasn’t meant to play sulu’s husband, the production wanted to cast a local Dubai actor but that actor dropped out the day before filming so producer Lindsey Weber suggested Jung step in
- “I was a little self-conscious — for my physical appearance. John’s a good-looking guy! But I was thrilled to do it, because it was something we all really believed strongly in, and it was kind of nice to put your money where your mouth is.”
- his character’s name is Ben, and he’s a civilian who probably met Sulu on leave
- after falling in love, getting married and having a daughter, Ben probably moved the family to the Yorktown space station (pictured above) just to be closer to Sulu who’s off in deep space
- “There was a scene that I thought was really nice where Sulu expresses a level of guilt that because of his duties, [his husband and daughter] were put into this position where they’re in jeopardy,” said Jung. “We wrote it, but we never got to shoot it.”
OH MY FUCKING GOD
