I Love the 70s: Volume 2
1975
Wednesday 12 July 2006 on VH1

Television from 1975 reminisced on includes S.W.A.T. and Swiss Family Robinson . Joe Cocker and Patti LaBelle had the popular songs, while Rollerball and Peter Sellers' The Return of the Pink Panther were popular movies. In real life, America fell in love with the AMC Pacer, women fell in...

The episode entitled Christmas In Saigon in series 2 of 21 Jump Street, was based on Dustin’s family’s escape from Vietnam, on the day Saigon fell in 1975. (edit) Dustin is in partnership with designer Jebran, in the line ’Skkin’. The customized leather and silver clothing and accessories line has customers such as Nine Inch Nails, Billy Idol, Godsmack, Slash and Will Smith. (edit) Dustin was the face of the Levi Jeans' European "Hero" campaign. It was the first time Levi's had ever used an Asian lead. (edit) Dustin enjoys practicing Muay Thai kickboxing. (edit) After Dustin graduated high school, he moved to Southern California and attended Orange Coast College and majored in communications. (edit)

Dustin: (on getting injured in a fight scene on “V.I.P”) The fellow I was fighting was a good friend of mine. We try to kick each other's legs out. On the fourth take, we were coming down from being airborne and he landed on top of my foot! My weight crashed to the inside and the knee collapsed. From the knee down, nothing could move, so the knee snapped out of the joint ... there was this explosion of pain. Of course my friend, who I was fighting with, felt awful! They rushed me to the emergency room and Angela [now Dustin’s wife] was there. (edit) Dustin: (on being a teen idol on “21 Jump Street”) Well, it was the second season of the show, and all this fan mail would come in. I remember we made our first public appearance for a photograph session inside a mall, and, you know, it was out of control. I've never experienced anything like that before. When we came out, people were screaming and totally going ballistic. People were saying, "Oh, I idolize you," and, you know, that's great. What's not great about that? But what's so confusing is that no one teaches you how to react to things like this. Johnny [Depp] was obviously the real heartthrob of the show, but the guys on the show were a tight-knit group so there was no rivalry. We all just felt, "Geez, people love us." And, for me, people said, "Wow, it's great to see an Asian on TV." And I thought that was great too. (edit) Dustin: (on acting) I like the feeling of being able to express myself in a way that I normal couldn't as a person, because intrinsically I'm very shy. Acting opened up a lot of emotional discovery for me in terms of who I am as a person. I'm a lot more comfortable, playing a character. To me, it's about the study of the self and how you relate to another human being. (edit) Dustin: (on his favourite “21 Jump Street“ episode) There were a lot of good ones. I think the one I remember the most was the one that focused on date rape. Where Holly Robinson's character had been date raped once. That's hard to say, but I would mention that episode. We did one on a kid that contracted AIDS that was quite touching as well. (edit) Dustin: (on his favourite martial arts movie of all-time) Enter the Dragon. No doubt. In my opinion, it's the Gone With the Wind of martial arts movies. My second favorite--although it's a totally different style--is Jackie Chan's Drunken Master, Part 2. It's unbelievable. (edit)
