Ryan Coogler’s "X-Files" pilot has cast Himesh Patel alongside previously announced star Danielle Deadwyler.

According to an individual with knowledge of the project, the two will play entirely new characters — not new versions of Fox Mulder or Dr. Dana Scully.

New book alert from senior Forbes contributor and content creator @GoldieChan: “Personal Branding for Introverts.” Love how the cover is green, like Goldie’s signature coiffure!

Go see नेहा & NEEL. Fun and authentically intergenerationally Desi. I related so much as an Asian American. Play by Ankita Raturi, directed by Lily Tung Crystal, playing now at the Los Angeles Theatre Center until 11/16. $10 Previews: October 9-17. https://t.co/9Cl7xt3ueY

A humorous article by a friend on how Trump ruined news (and democracy) for her but helped her spend more sexy time with her husband. https://t.co/u3AebmF3Tf

I got to preview "Good Fortune" and it surprisingly touches on workplace exploitation and unions. Keanu Reeves plays a naive and sweet-natured angel that reminds me of his character in Bill and Ted. Sandra Oh is a regal archangel.

Go see “Torera” at @outsideinthtr, a new theatre cofounded by @thetamlyntomita!

Have you ever noticed that people dressed better in the past? Even in the summer, when it was scorching hot?

Why is this? 🧵

“Blocked by Hollywood’s low ceiling of expectations, Bruce had returned to…Hong Kong to fight and to be seen…His very presence on screen was a protest.” —@zentronix. Can’t wait to read Jeff Chang’s new biography, “Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America.”

Visited Romania for the first time and witnessed the global reach of Netflix as I passed by the castle where they film #Wednesday and saw #SquidGame everywhere.

Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of NYC, is the son of filmmaker Mira Nair!!! He also convinced his mom to cast Kal Penn in The Namesake after making her watch Harold and Kumar. 😃 https://t.co/gxmHutpJX5

@cashleelee So sorry to hear Ashley.

[Nancy Wang Yuen @nancywyuen]

Moderated a #SquidGame2 panel for @netflix & @am_cinematheque. Asked Lee Jung-Jae about the “I’ve played these games before!” meme 😂 and the fans went wild for Choi Seung-hyun, aka T.O.P.
