Well we’ve talked about how Dragonball has influenced Heroes before on the show but this news was defiantly worth putting up…

During his November 11 panel at Pacific Media Expo in Los Angeles, actor James Kyson Lee (Heroes television series’ Ando) said that he is trying out for the role of Yamcha in 20th Century Fox’s live-action adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball manga. He says that the movie is planned for a 2010 release and that he approved of the script so far. He also said that he was a childhood fan of manga such as Dragon Ball and Takehiko Inoue’s Slam Dunk — of which he had read the entire run.

If it gets it, he’d be the most interesting take on Yamcha ever, even more interesting then Chris Sabat’s take in DBZ’s Frieza saga.
