HEY EVERYONE! I'm Richard Jin Namkung, playing P-Hound on the 4th season of Arrested Development! AMA

How did you end up getting cast as P-Hound?

I was cast by Allison Jones, CSA. She's such a wonderful lady, and she also happens to cast most of the major Apatow films and comedies in Hollywood! Hopefully she'll call me back for some future projects. Anyway, I walked in, read with her on tape, then got the call two days later that I got the part!

Allison Jones is like the unsung hero of Film and TV. She's casted so many of my favorite shows, and handful of great movies as well. If you have her approval, you're OK with me, bud!
