He also pursues leading a counter-revolutionary mission in his homeland. Toan Le will play the General, the former head of the South Vietnamese Secret Police who’s now fixated on uncovering traitors in the refugee community. After arriving in Los Angeles, Bon finds new meaning in the most unlikely of places and circumstances.
Khan ( Fatherhood) will play Bon, the Captain’s childhood friend who refuses to bring his pal’s multiple identities into focus. He’s later recruited to return to Vietnam for a raid on the communists. It follows the Captain (Xuande), a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy during the final days of the Vietnam War and his resulting exile in the United States. After leaving Vietnam during the fall of Saigon in 1975, the Captain becomes enmeshed in the Southern California exile community and serves as a cultural adviser to an American film about the war. The Sympathizer, which HBO ordered to series in July 2021, is part espionage thriller and part cross-culture satire.
The quintet join the previously announced Robert Downey Jr., who will play several supporting roles and is an executive producer of the series.
