    Favorite supporting character hide show

    Keiko is one of my favorite supporting characters on the show Gilmore Girls. She gives a great performance as Lane Kim on one of my favorite shows. Her scenes and interactions with the other characters are one of my favortie things about the show. She has good skills as an actress and the exact real feel for a show that has a lot of packed scripts.

    Where did she come from? hide show

    I had no idea who Keiko Agena until I watched Gilmore Girls. She is GREAT! She is funny as Lane on Gilmore Girls. She is beautiful and photgentic as well. She needs to be in more episodes on Gilmore Girls then she already is. Her and Alexis Bledel are pretty funny when they are in scenes with each other.

    I had no idea she was 9 years older then Alexis Bledel. She looks very young yet she is in her 30s! Well that's HollyWood for you, everyone has a fountain of youth in their backyard that they drink from everyday.

    She's a great actress. hide show

    She is so great as Lane. She brings a certain element to the show that it would be lost without. Her preformances are incredible, and she is awesome. I really wish that she was in more stuff, but I guess I'll have to be content with just Gilmore Girls. I wonder if she's going to be in any movies any time soon. That would be great. I especially liked her preformance in the episode where Lane and Zack got married. That was great. She's so cute and talented. I think that she should have her own show ors something. Yeah.
