Queer as Folk Stars Reunite for Ping Pong
They played lovers on
Queer as Folk, but now Peter Paige and Scott Lowell will be partners
of the table-tennis variety for Ping Pong Playa, a new comedy
from Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Jessica Yu (In the Realms of
the Unreal).
The film stars Jimmy Tsai as a would-be basketball player who is forced
to defend his family's athletic dynasty.
For a director who often takes on very serious subjects, Yu is a very
funny lady (she delivered the immortal "My dress cost more than my film"
line at the Oscars.)
So with a cast that also includes gay comic Jason Stuart and Khary
Payton (who played the witty gay pal on the Emily's Reasons Why Not),
count on Playa to serve the laughs when it's unveiled later this
year.
