Chinese actor Liu Ye, who has portrayed a Forrest Gump-like character in the action-crime film "The Underdog Knight" and its sequel, says he'd like to continue the role as long as he can.
The sequel, entitled "He-Man", is slated for release on April 1. Liu said Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at the film's premiere in Beijing, "The character has gained my heart, and I'm looking forward to continuing it in following projects."
Liu's character, named Lao San, is a retired Marine veteran who lives in his world of innocence and optimism due to a brain injury. He assumes the role of a dedicated vigilante and fights people whom he considers bad.
Ding Sheng, the director of the two films, echoed Liu Ye at the premiere, promising that a third installment would come out if Liu has time to act.
"He-Man" features Zhang Zilin, the 2007 Miss World champion, as Lao San's love interest. Actors Vincent Chiao and Yoo Seung-jun are also in the cast.
