## Casting Tran Wu

* Rick Yune was originally going to be the cast of Tran but threw up, sneezed and got sick and the other actors (Johnny Messner, KaDee Strickland, Matthew Marsden, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Denis Arndt, Andy Anderson, Morris Chestnut, Nicholas Gonzalez and Eugene Byrd) were upset because Rick was sick and worried that the filming production was going to be cancelled when the director Dwight Little and filmmakers sent him to bed due to a cold and stomach virus. Rick was too sick in bed with a cold and stomach virus and was not feeling well so however the filming was not cancelled. He gave it to and was replaced by his younger brother Karl Yune instead who was very pleased about working with Little and the filmmakers. The other actors clapped and cheered for Karl and realized that the filming production had to go on.
