UPDATE: And here's a Salt Lake Tribune article on local kid Justin Kwong, who has quirky part in White on Rice as a secretive, piano-playing genius named Bob: Provo boy hits the big screen. He's a bit of a scene-stealer, and was honored for the role last month as an Outstanding Newcomer at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Films.
