We speak to Warrior star Chen Tang about his role as Hong in season 3 of the StreamOnMax series, and what it was like returning to the world of the Tongs after an extended break:
Bruce Lee originally conceived the Old West martial arts series Warrior in the early '70s before his untimely passing, with the show eventually being realized by his daughter Shannon and producers Justin Lin and Jonathan Tropper. Though Cinemax ended original programming after season 2 of Warrior, the show was fortunately able to migrate to Max.
Chen Tang: You know, we actually talked a lot about this before we started shooting the season, because obviously, it's been a while. And also, just to really dial in where each of us stands, because after season 2, there was obviously this cataclysmic event, and basically, s--t hits the fan with the Chinatown riot.
There has also been a fairly sizable gap from Warrior season 2 to season 3 because of the show moving from Cinemax to the streaming platform Max. With Warrior having more of an extended break, how did that make returning to the show different from other projects? Chen Tang: You know, I can't talk about that, because that would be a spoiler! But there is quite an explosive and emotional fight, and I felt like the fights this season were full of emotion, more so than the last two. It wasn't just fighting to get things done, it wasn't fighting to defeat somebody else, and without getting too much into it, there's going to be a lot of heart-wrenching fights.
I was thinking 'Wow, how can I live my life more like Mark?', and he's just such a joy to be around. He has such a fun, youthful energy, and he's so warm and soulful, I can't speak highly enough of Mark. Watching him work, watching him prepare, and watching really how much work and effort it takes for him to keep his body in shape, keep his mind in shape, and how much he cares about the project.
