Emily Kuroda Interviewed

February 10, 2011 By arieanna 2 Comments

Gilmore Girls Italia recently interviewed Emily Kuroda (Mrs. Kim on Gilmore Girls) about her involvement in the series.

The interview is short, but also touching. Emily says she misses the family behind the show, which I’m sure is true – people do become like family after 7 years and, while some do keep in touch, others drift apart. As mentioned, Emily has been lucky to work with Keiko Agena (Lane Kim on Gilmore Girls) on a few occasions. Indeed, she shared that when Lane got married on Gilmore Girls, she cried real tears because their bond was so strong!

Emily currently is in the movie Red in a supporting role.

Emily Kuroda in “Red”

October 6, 2010 By arieanna 1 Comment

Emily Kuroda (Mrs. Kim on Gilmore Girls) has a supporting role in the October 15th release of RED, a film starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovitch and Helen Mirren. The film focuses on a group of “Retired Extremely Dangerous” individuals in an action-comedy. Emily Kuroda stars in the flick as Mrs. Chan – though I have no idea how long her on-screen time is!

Summary of film:

Frank (Bruce Willis), Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren) used to be the CIA’s top agents – but the secrets they know just made them the Agency’s top targets. Now framed for assassination, they must use all of their collective cunning, experience and teamwork to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers and stay alive. To stop the operation, the team embarks on an impossible, cross-country mission to break into the top-secret CIA headquarters, where they will uncover one of the biggest conspiracies and cover-ups in government history.
