Marvel’s Benedict Wong was surprised by how close his 3 Body Problem character was to himself: "I thought I was being stalked"
The creators weaved some details in

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Doctor Strange star Benedict Wong says he was pretty surprised by how similar his character in the new Netflix sci-fi show 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:3 Body Problem was to🎃 himself when he first got the scripts.
In the new show from True Blood’s Alexander Woo and Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, Wong plays Da Shi, a private investigator brought in to invesဣtigate a string of scientist murders. In the series, adapted from a Chinese novel of the same name, he soon finds out that their fates are linked to a decision made by a young woman many decades prior.
While Shi is taken directly from the novels, the showrunners did add some elements to the character to honor Wong. Among the details they weaved in were his character hailing from Salford, his parents being𓃲 from Hong Kong, and the fact he grew up in the '70s.
"Well, I thought I was being stalked actually, when I was reading the characters," Wong laughingly tells GamesRadar+. "Then I met them on Zoom and I said, this sounds a lot like🔯 me, and Alex Woo confessed that they've copied the Wikipedia page."
I♏t turns out he wasn’t the only one either, as his co-star Liam Cunningham had a similar situation. He plays Thomas Wade in the show, the leader of an intelligence operation investigating the scientific threat, and Shi’s boss.
"It was very weird for me too because I think that Wade is an American in the books or♓ ex-CIA," Cunningham adds. "So when I got this Dublin dude, who you have no idea where he's come from or a𒆙nything like that, I went, 'Woah'."
Speaking to Wong, he adds: "We talked about that, didn't we? That the characters that they had written were dangerously close to ourselves. It was a bit weird [because] a lot of the time we hide behind accents and various methods of veils over us as human beings but they kind of stripped all th🍒ose things away. Weird, but kind of brilliant." Nodding, Wong adds: "It's been great to play it though."
