“WandaVision” star Randall Park, who plays FBI agent Jimmy Woo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, admitted that he had forgotten about his role in “The Office” as the beloved Asian Jim.

Park actually thought fans calling him “Asian Jim” on the street years after the hit sitcom ended was some kind of a racist attack, he shared in a fun interview on “Conan” on March 3.“It was the final season of ‘The Office.’ I got the chance to play a character named Asian Jim in, like, one scene during the final season.

“And then several years later, I’m like walking down the street and this car drives by and the guy yells like ‘Asian Jim!’ and drives off. I’m thinking like, ‘is this like some racist thing that I don’t know about?” he recalled.
