[JPX sez, I just saw Ray Park at a nerd, er, collector's convention in Boston a few weeks ago, he seemed like a decent dude].

Ray Park's got the dope dancer moves, so he'll make a good ninja. Plus it's more fun if you don't have to see his face.
I don't mean he's ugly, but he always seems to get these physically challenging roles that involve face coverage and don't involve him speaking much.
