“I don’t know that I approached it thinking I’m going to be different,” Cho told Super over Zoom. He wasn’t about doing a slavish copy of the anime. Now that’s dedication.Īnd for Cho, that’s what playing Spike has been all about. Like many anime characters, Spike has a distinctively crazy haircut, but Cho (“Star Trek,” “Searching”) instead chose to grow his hair until it was a close enough approximation of Spike’s. For John Cho, who plays the series’ protagonist Spike Spiegel, it even got to the point of refusing to wear a wig.
