- "I used to dress up in the cheap K-mart plastic Halloween costumes, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, almost every single day from 8 to 13 years old. My friends and I would play pretend, we would make our own lightsabers out of toilet paper centers and stuff like that and paper towel cardboard, and to be able to be on set and see Darth Vader and see the Star Wars Universe in front of me, I mean — just as a fan to be able to be part of that history is pretty amazing. I kept pinching myself to go, 'How did I end up here?' and, my character has a lightsaber, to go, 'What? This is.. It's not a toy. It's actually the real thing, right?' so pretty cool."
- ―Sung Kang
Sung Kang is an American actor[2] who portrays the Fifth Brother in Obi-Wan Kenobi.[5] Kang was given a fair amount of room to make the character his own.[6] The Fifth Brother's lightsaber was shifted to accommodate Kang's hands.[7] He is best known for playing Han Seoul-Oh in the Fast & Furious franchise, and the attorney John Mak in the crime drama series Power.
