| 82 | !!This actor provides examples of: |
| 83 | |
| 84 | * ColorblindCasting: Was used as an example about how many major films could easily star non-white actors in the 2016 meme "Starring John Cho", which criticized Hollywood for its poor diversity. |
| 85 | * IAmNotSpock: [[invoked]] After ''Film/AmericanPie'', fans would apparently shout "MILF!" at him. After ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle'', it was "Harold!" Cho has remarked in interviews that going from a catch phrase to an actual name was a sign of progress. |
| 86 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: He auditioned for the role of Jim Halpert on ''[[Series/TheOfficeUS The Office]]'' before Creator/JohnKrasinski was cast. |
