According to numerous co-workers and people I don&#8217;t know, I look like you.  No, I do not work at a beer testing facility, opium farm, or Tim Kang clone factory.  Ever since the TV show <i>The Mentalist<\/i>, which you play a supporting role in, starting showing on CBS on Tuesdays, the number of people who think I look like you has been on the rise, like the roll call of Hugh Hefner&#8217;s ex-girlfriends.  Actually, the comparisons started before you even began playing California Bureau of Investigations agent Kimball Cho.  <\/p>\n<p>It all started when someone mentioned I looked like that Asian guy with the Asian family from the Home Depot commercial.  At first, I thought that person was crazy with a capital Amy Winehouse, because a commercial with only Asians in it was just something that didn&#8217;t exist.  Caucasians?  Of course.  Hispanics?  Si?  African-Americans?  Yes.  Asian?  I didn&#8217;t expect a national American television commercial with only Asians until the year 2033, after China takes over the world.  However, after searching YouTube, I saw the commercial with you in it.<\/p>\n<p><center><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/QGMmA47TZCM&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0\"\/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\/><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Then a few folks said I look like the Asian guy in the Cingular commercials, which also happened to be you.  <\/p>\n<p><center><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/6yOZ8f8E5Og&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0\"\/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\/><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p>After watching the commercials, a few minutes of <i>The Mentalist<\/i>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3WKlpQ6D4aw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this short video you starred in<\/a>, I thought it was just another case of people thinking all Asians look alike, but when I saw the picture of you below, it changed my mind and made me believe that you are my celebrity doppleganger.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left;padding-right:10px;border:none;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/images\/kang.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oh, by the way.  No one mentioned that I looked like En-Joo in the last Rambo movie, which I&#8217;m sure you played wonderfully.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like you&#8217;re the Chocolate Fudge Pop-Tarts and I&#8217;m the Fiber One Chocolate Fudge Toaster Pastries, because while we may look alike, you&#8217;re well known like Pop-Tarts, since <i>The Mentalist<\/i> gets 15 million viewers per week, while I&#8217;m a Z-List internet celebrity that many people don&#8217;t know about, much like the new Fiber One toaster pastries.  <\/p>\n<p>Of course, the differences don&#8217;t stop there.  While you have degrees from Berkeley and Harvard, I have a piece of paper that says I graduated with an English degree from the University of Hawaii, which is much like comparing the sweet, chocolatey, and delicious taste of the Chocolate Fudge Pop-Tarts with the not equally as impressive, but good enough taste of the Fiber One Chocolate Fudge Toaster Pastries.  <\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_top&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=theimpulsivbu-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=B001BZ7MFY\" style=\"float:left;padding-right:10px;width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>Also, while you spent months in Moscow to study acting, it took me a few seconds to learn about you on the internet, which is similar to comparing the amount of time it would take to poop with the less than one gram of dietary fiber in a Pop-Tart with the speed it would take to poop with the five grams of dietary fiber a Fiber One toaster pastry has, which is 20 percent of your daily value of fiber.<\/p>\n<p>However, we might be more alike than I realize.  After all, we&#8217;ve never met.  Just like the Pop-Tarts and Fiber One toaster pastries both have high fructose corn syrup and roughly the same nutritional values, maybe you enjoy spying on your neighbors across the street with a pair of Bushnell binoculars and a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Parabolic_microphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parabolic microphone<\/a>, like I do.  Or maybe you enjoy laying in front of a mirror and brushing a slightly exaggerated nude self-painting, much like I love doing on warm spring nights.<\/p>\n<p>Well I hope that this letter to you ends up as the top search query whenever you or someone else decides to Google your name or the phrase, &#8220;cute Asian guy in The Mentalist.&#8221;  Perhaps someday we can meet or switch lives.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Marvo<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 pastry &#8211; 190 calories, 4 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 1 gram polyunsaturated fat, 1.5 grams of monounsaturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 150 milligrams of sodium, 140 milligrams of potassium, 36 grams of carbs, <b>5 grams of dietary fiber<\/b>, 16 grams of sugar, 4 grams of protein, and 6% iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Fiber One Chocolate Fudge Toaster Pastry<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $3.49<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  6 pastries<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Doesn&#8217;t taste like cardboard.
