    Where is the LOVE? You gotta have mad love for Gedde. C'mon, I know you remember him. He was unforgettable as Long Duk Dong in "Sixteen Candles." He was also half of the reason that Ron Howards' "Gung Ho" was so hilarious. He was also a funny waiter in "Booty Call." I guess I will have to find some pictures. Much respect to Gedde Watanabe.
