... or fake mandarin. Caught a couple of words on Hawaii FiveO... and he's pretty good (for a non-asian actor). Usually they butcher mandarin so badly! Am I the only one appreciating his mandarin?

I loved it when I heard it, although I don't know any Mandarin..knowing Alex and his work ethic he probably studied with a language coach until he could dream the lines in mandarin, wanting it to sound as perfect as he could say them.

Wow! that's a great gift! such talented man, he's good at sooo many things!

By the way, to be clear for my original post - I am from China and is a native mandarin speaker. He's still great at it in my ears!

Good looking, great body and beautiful use of languages. He sure is a god among men.
