The hilarious star of Scrubs and Clueless has been a life-long fan of the Star Wars universe. He's talked extensively about how in his youth, he pretty much learned how to act while horsing around with his brothers with impressions of Lando Calrissian, the iconic Billy Dee Williams character that also happened to be the first major black character in the Star Wars films. Sure, everyone in Hollywood is clamoring to get into Episode VII, but few desire it purely out of love for the films. Given that Faison will be seen in the highly anticipated Kick Ass 2, it seems he's finally set to become a comedic leading man with major box office appeal. Let's hope Abrams is taking notice.
