If you’ve been following the coverage of Seth Rogen’s The Green Hornet the past several months, then you’ve read about all the problems the production has encountered — from concept to production — to say nothing of the lack of love it seems to engender online (yes, we’ve been guilty of a few flippant remarks ourselves). Now comes word that Taiwanese actor/musician Jay Chow, who will star alongside Rogen as Green Hornet’s sidekick Kato, isn’t really terribly interested in acting after all, with speculation ensuing that he just sees this as an opportunity to advance his music career.

“I went to Hollywood not just to make it big and develop my film career,” Chow is quoted as saying over at ComicBookMovie. “I went there to also introduce my music to the Americans. So that they will notice me.”

Chow seems dissatisfied with the Hollywood production machine, complaining that it takes too long to make movies.

“In Asia, we get through a movie very quickly. We get the script, we get working and it’s done,” he said. “In Hollywood, they have rehearsals that go on for half a month before they begin shooting, and shooting can go on for months. I’m a newbie. There is a lot of waiting around before my scenes and I cannot speak too loudly. I have to be well-behaved.”
