John Cho is perhaps best known for playing Sulu in the "Star Trek" reboots and Harold in the "Harold and Kumar" films. His new movie "Searching" takes place entirely on computer screens. Cho's performance is one of the reasons why it is a successful piece of true cinema and not a novelty. We discuss the unique challenges of performing alone in some scenes and trusting director Aneesh Chaganty to navigate him through the space. We also talk about one of my favorite recent indie films "Columbus" (directed by Kogonada) and the connection he felt with co-star Haley Lu Richardson that truly powers the film.
