Keiko Agena scores a guest spot… so what do you think Lane Kim would be doing now?

So whatever happened to Rory’s best bud, Lane Kim?  In the wild and wacky world of TV-land – where Jason Ritter dates Lorelai Gilmore, then her daughter Rory – Lane has become a high school grief counsellor.

Mrs Kim would be proud!  Maybe.

We’re sending some Gilmore-love and bestest wishes to Keiko Agena (Gilmore Girls’ long-suffering, hair-tousling, twin-toting bad-ass-drummer Lane Kim) who will guest spot in the upcoming ABC Family ‘mystery’ show, Twisted.  The show centres on a charismatic sixteen year guy just out from five years in juvenile detention, re-connecting with his two female best friends from childhood.  Sounds like he had a mum like Mrs Kim.

Might Lane have actually become a counsellor?  I can see her and Zack raising the twins to play rhythm guitar and keyboard and they play fusion country rock at family-friendly festivals with their loving, nutty uncles, Brian and Gil.  Freebird!

can't get hepper than this

Man, Lane and Zack’s twins, Steve and Kwan, would have just turned six years old.  But Keiko will always look 17.  We’ll have some of what she’s having, thankyouverymuch.

What was your favourite Lane Kim moment?  What do you think she’s up to now?

Keiko Agena in “I Hate LA”

Keiko Agena (Lane Kim on Gilmore Girls) stars in one of 10 interlocking vignettes in the indy horror film, I Hate LA. The film aims to highlight the “flawed monsters” of Hollywood by featuring 10 interlocking horror vignettes written and directed by 6 women directors. Each short story is set in a different part of LA – Keiko’s segment is of Downtown LA.

Unlike the beautiful city of light, love, and culture, Los Angeles is perhaps the most hated and berated metropolis in the world. From the gnarled traffic, pervading loneliness and narcissism of its residents to the constant loss, rejection, and cruelty of tinsel town…each area of Los Angeles proper has a figurative and sometimes literal monster lurking near its sidewalks paved with stars.

Let these acclaimed Mistresses of Horror provide their uniquely devastating, no holds barred opinion of what makes the city of angels and hidden devils so profoundly effed up.

You can see a short scene with Keiko at 56 seconds into this trailer. Please note, the video is disturbing and not appropriate for younger viewers.

The film is currently screening on the indy circuit.
