can someone settle something about Galaxy Quest for me? I've never been sure why Tony Shaloub's character has a Chinese name unless it's supposed to be a nod to the fact that Dr. Soong on ST:TNG was played by the obviously not Asian Brent Spiner. I've been told I'm wrong about that. Am I? and if so, why does his character have a Chinese name?

5. Tony Shaloub auditioned for Guy Fleegman, but was offered Fred Kwan.
According to MTV, he told them:

“I’m not going to play an Asian guy, but I’ll play a guy that plays an Asian. How about that?”

Director Dean Parisot expounds on this:

“Tony brought up David Carradine in “Kung Fu” [another example of a non-Asian actor playing an Asian character] and the story goes — I don’t know if it’s true — that David Carradine was completely stoned all of the time on that show. Dialogue would just come out of his head and people would just stare at each other and think, “Where did that come from?” We knew we couldn’t do a stoner because we needed to hit a PG-13, but we basically suggested that.”

Pretty sure it's a nod to Soong.

Or at least, the trend of the white guy playing an asian.
