Hello all out there. Just got a minute to say hey. I am alive. Been in Vietnam for the last few months, including TET new year. The more time I spend in Asia, the more I feel it's the place. although, I do miss all my bros: Roger, Sung, Justin, Julie and the whole FTG gang! It's strange to have spent so much time with them last year, and then go for some time without seeing them. Everyone busy doing their thing, I suppose. I gotta figure out some time to post some pics from Vietnam soon. But for now take care all. dustinxxx

By the way, to all who have been commenting on these blogs: I can't figure out for the life of me how to respond to your comments. It doesn't work, or I can't get it to work when I click on reply to these comments. Even Roger Fan is stumped! He said it has something to do with the routing operating system. Don't think I've been ignoring you all!!! Happy holidays by the way. Dxx

TORONTO REEL ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL

Been a while since my last entry, but being on the road took it out of me. So here we are, Julie and I, in Toronto with Reel Asians!! As opposed to ... fake Asians?? The opening night was a fantastic way to close out our "tour" - sold out crowd. And the people in Toronto are such great film lovers!! I remember being here 2 years ago for LITTLE FISH at TIFF, and the reception was awesome. It was strange being there without the guys, but I gotta say: Julie was awesome, mellow and kept me out of trouble. She even managed to get me to shoot for the cover of ASIAN WAVE magazine on the day I left for the airport!! We did a hell a lot of walking. I, of course, searched for the best coffee which led us to Little Italy. And the expresso (double) hit the spot. I also have to say our host Heather and Patricia were awesome. Took us to Vietnamese food, and I was surprised to see so many Vietnamese restaurants!

Julie reconning for my expresso!! in Little Italy.

It had been a great journey on this grass-roots tour. I, and we collectively, feel that we had connected with the community out there. And every seat that was filled at all the showings ... we earned it!! Thank you for all your support and love.

Julie with Heather and Raymond from REEL ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL

From San Fran we went to Hawaii Film Festival. Unfortunately, Justin had to leave early due to work for FAST FURIOUS 4. Roger and I carried on; tough job, but someone had to do it. To be honest, we were exhausted from San Fran, and was on auto-pilot most of the time. The cool thing is we met up with the guys from alivenotdead.com. Daniel, Andrew, Conroy, Jack and company ... cool guys who have been big supporters of GAME.

The alivenotdead crew -- after party.

Superstar Daniel Wu -- love the jacket! What a nice guy.
Roger and I went to speak at McKinney High School where The Rock graduated. The kids were great, but they must have wonder what was wrong with Roger and I when we carried on about how challenging it is to be Asian-Americans in the media. 95% of the kids was Asians!!! Our friend Daniel Day Kim did say that if you are an Asian American, Hawaii is the place to live.

Next stop, last night's LA premiere. Great turn out. The cast and crew were all there. It was good seeing everyone on home court. We were all very touched by the support. If you know the Nuart Theater, you'd know how hard it is to find parking around there. Yet, they came. And they cheered. Both shows were sold out. The folks at myspace.com threw us a party at Shag on Highland. And a good time was had by all, even grumpy old me. I even got my best friend Vincent to come out!! The guy never goes anywhere.

Vincent -- in the middle -- camera-shy.

Sung -- thinking "I gotta piss!"

My Angela.

After escaping from Vietnam with his family on the day Saigon fell in 1975, Dustin Nguyen (pronounced "Gwen") went on to establish himself as one of Hollywood's premiere Asian-American actors, having starred on such hit shows as _"21 Jump Street" "Seaquest DSV", as well as feature films.

Of noteworthy is Nguyen landing the much coveted starring role in the critically acclaimed Little Fish (2005) opposite Academy Award-winner Cate Blanchett. Nguyen plays Jonny, Cate's love interest in a story that revolves around her Tracy, a former heroin addict trying to rebuild her life. Nguyen, also a recovered addict, re-enters her life determined to convince her that they are still meant to be together. The film, which also stars Hugo Weaving, Sam Neill and Martin Henderson, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and went on to become the number-one film in Australia. Along the way, it collected 5 Australian Film Institute Awards and 3 Film Critics Awards. Little Fish then opened in New York to rave reviews. Critics took note of Nguyen's performance and transformation into a leading man among the A-list cast.

Most recently, Nguyen starred in Justin Lin's latest film Finishing The Game, which is having its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. In this 1970's comedy, Nguyen plays an out-of -work actor who is in the midst of a casting call to replace the freshly deceased Bruce Lee in his unfinished "Game Of Death." Nguyen also had just starred in his first villain role in The Rebel, a French-Vietnamese 1920's period action-drama, as well as a romantic lead in Saigon Eclipse, a modern day love-story set in Saigon, Vietnam. These two films marked Nguyen's first return to Vietnam in 32 years.

In earlier years, Nguyen has also found success in feature films. He landed a pivotal role in Warner Bros.' Heaven & Earth (1993), directed by Oliver Stone, followed by the action-drama No Escape, No Return (1993). In addition, he also starred in the independent romantic-comedy Hundred Percent (1998).

Born in South Vietnam, Nguyen enjoyed a comfortable existence, his father being one of the nation's top film and stage actors. Forced to leave the country on virtually a moment's notice when the North Vietnamese took over the country, the Nguyens became the first Vietnamese family to settle in St. Louis, MO. During his junior high school years, Nguyen found "personal excellence" through martial arts, which he describes as "the first awakening of my soul." Following high school, he moved to Southern California to attend Orange Coast College, and at the suggestion of a friend, took an acting class - or as he describes it "the second awakening of my soul." The rest, as he puts it, "was a series of fateful events."

After making his professional debut on a special two-hour "Magnum, P.I." (1980) where he played a young Cambodian freedom fighter, Nguyen went on to enjoy enormous popularity as Suki on "General Hospital" (1963). His breakthrough role, however, came when he was cast as Det. Harry Ioki in the new Fox network's flagship show "21 Jump Street" (1987), on which he starred for four seasons. It was here that Nguyen became the first prime-time Asian heartthrob, and got his official introduction to fame!

What is more to his liking is testing his limits on his Ducati motorcycle, or practicing his Muay Thai kick-boxing.

When not out navigating hairpin turns on his bike, Nguyen spends his spare time practicing several styles of martial arts. In addition to Muay Thai, he also trains in Tae Kwon Do, the Filipino-based styles of Kali and Escrima, and, most of all, Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

Nguyen's then largely unknown martial arts expertise was showcased when he starred in the Levi Jeans' European "Hero" campaign, which expanded upon his ever-growing international profile. The campaign was uniquely ground-breaking in that it was the first time Levi's had used an Asian lead. For Nguyen, it offered the first opportunity to apply his love for the martial arts along with his dramatic training as he collaborated with director Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, Birth) on the fight choreography.

Nguyen and his wife, former model/actress Angela Rockwood-Nguyen, are also very involved with The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation. Several years ago, his wife was involved in a car accident that left her paralyzed, rendering her quadriplegic. Since then, they have worked closely with the foundation and have recently become the spokespersons for The Paralysis Resource Center's Minority Communities Outreach Campaign, which aims to increase awareness of and access to the PRC amongst minority communities in the US.

On the business side, Nguyen has an exclusive custom silver jewelry line called Imperial Rose Collections. Its unique and artistic designs are catching on with the in-crowd of Hollywood and Japan.

Dustin and his wife Angela live in Los Angeles.
