With all the ludicrously detailed speculation about, gushing over and dissection of Battlestar Galatica elsewhere on this site, I'm suprised no one has had anything specific to say about Grace Park. Sorry, I'm not going to increase your knowledge either, but this does seem a likely spot to record… More an opinion. When the miniseries was launched, I was afraid that Grace Park was just another skinny model-actress cast for looks and to be the token Asian. From the start, though, Park's work has been a revelation as she plays variations of all-too-human machines with differing degrees of understanding of their situation. There's absolutely no preening in any of her scenes, and she's able to tap into raw and completely unglamorous emotions. Anyone who watches will join me in wishing Grace Park a long and successful career.
"West 32nd" is scheduled for release sometime in 2008. It is currently in post production, according to IMDb. A Korean (or Korean-American) attorney gets caught up in the underworld of Korean gangsters in New York. (I'm not sure how realistic this is since I've never heard of a large Korean mafia… More in New York, but it's just a movie, I guess.) I think much of the dialogue will be in Korean. Grace will be playing Lila Lee. She appears to be one of the main stars. Michael Kang is the director. He has directed 3 other independent films: A Waiter Tomorrow (1998), Japanese Cowboy (2000), and The Motel (2005). The movie has a promotional MySpace page .
You are about to be drowning in a ton of new shows, and navigating those tricky waters can be a daunting task. Thankfully, we've seen the pilots of the most of the networks' new offerings and can tell you which ones are worth watching.
Book 'em Danno!
Is it possible that Jim Belushi isn't annoying now? Watch the trailers for Hawaii Five-O, The Defenders, and $#*! My Dad Says, starring the Shat.

Grace amazes with her ability to portray all the qualities of the modern woman; strength, passion, intelligence, wit, charm; and yet she manages to weave the fragility of the "weaker" sex into the mix. She makes Boomer a symbol of the times; women are the equal or better of men, there is a reversal of roles for the sexes.
In B.G., Boomer fiercely protects her baby and its father, not just with maternal instincts, but raw military grit, characteristic of the male species.
Grace also reveals the weaker side of Boomer, the fear, the confusion, the need for male companionship and reassurance.
Watch her and be sucked into feeling the need to comfort Boomer, and yet feel protected when the going gets tough.
Her talent would be revered and appreciated in our sunny island, Singapore. Hope to see you here soon, in one of our productions!
I haven't seen BSG yet, but I hoping to rent the first season just to check it out. She is a very talented and beautiful actresse. I saw her Maxim pics, and she was soooooo hot!! I couldn't believe her doing something soo bold!! Nicely done, too!! I've heard good reviews about the drama series, making me want to see them for myself!
Grace Park character of "Boomer" or "Sharon Valerii" is absolutely awesome. I preferred the Boomer on Caprica much better than the Boomer on Galactica. I don't know why, exactly, but it seemed as if the Boomer on Caprica was more alive, in a sense, and seemed to become the "better" Boomer. Grace Park, in general, is one spectacular actress and does all her Cylon parts and such very well. *Claps* Above all, her emotions are always right on the dot. You can tell when she is upset, happy, or angry. Defintely. She is also very beautiful. I am very pleased that Grace got the part of Boomer rather than Starbuck.
I'm a fan of the original BSG with Herbert Jefferson playing Boomer and Dirk Benedict as Starbuck and when I heard that the directors decided to make Boomer and Starbuck women I really didn't know what to think, but I do know now....IT WORKS GREAT.
Katee Sackhoff is wonderful as Starbuck and Grace Park brings talent and beauty to the cast and makes everyone want to date a cyclon. Ok maybe that's just me. To the cast director..GREAT JOB casting Boomer.
Miss Grace Park in my opinion is the most attractive female in the business today. She is in the catogary with Lucy Liu, Jessica Alba, Bai Ling and TNA's Gail Kim. If I had the opportunity to meet Miss Park it would be one of the biggest honors in my life and I wish her all the best in thebusiness and in life. She makes sci-fi Friday very enjoyable.
Since there are many copies....let me have one!
Grace Park is extremely gorgeous. She is also a very good actress. She currently stars in two shows. She plays Boomer on “Battlestar Galactica” and she is also on the show “Edgemont” which only Canadians are allowed to see.
I don’t get that deal. I thought with NAFTA we were supposed to be one big happy family. Canadians get to see all the big American shows. Canadians actually make a lot of American shows. Why can’t we see Canadian shows? We get all the top Novellas from Mexico. Why can we watch Mexican shows but not Canadian shows? I want to see Grace Park more.
