    Hmm, IMDB isn't really a reliable source, IMO. But it wouldn't surprise me if they actually did replace him. :p

    well, i can understand why edison is dropped from all sort of endorsements and movies if those are indeed true .. who would wanna act beside him .. why is there a difference between regular actor/actress and those in pornography ... edison's image is worthless now and his colleague will not wanna work with him cuz that would bring their "class" down being in the same cast; not to mention it could affect the potential of viewing audience.

    wow, i'm suprised he's dropped from the dark knight, some american actors/actresses have done alot worse than he has, and i doubt he had that big of a role in the film to make that much of a difference to the asian community. People mite just have gone to see it just cos he was in it, with all his publicity n all.

    No big deal its not as if hes got a big role its probably just has line or two, besides lets be grateful he has no chance of ruining TDK.
