    Hope that she will really break big in Vanished! hide show

    After a stint on ER, The Single Guy, and the very short-lived Inconceivable, I hope and pray that Ming-Na will
    Be big as well as really get the attention and notices
    That she will get thanks to a great show on FOX called Vanished as it does look very good
    She isn't just pretty but very talented and she deserves to be the lead as there are very few Asians that are in the lead(I am part-Asian myself for the record!!)
