Actor John Cho sustained a knee injury on the set of the live-action Netflix series Cowboy Bebop while filming in New Zealand in October, leading to a seven to nine-month break in production. While the nature of the incident that led to the injury is not altogether clear, it occurred during a rehearsed sequence that was not considered to be a large-scale stunt, reports variety.com. The Big Bang Theory Fame Jim Parsons Roped In for Ryan Murphy’s Netflix Series ‘Hollywood’

Cho is back in Los Angeles, where he will undergo surgery, according to a person familiar with the matter. He posted a Bruce Lee quote on his Instagram page Friday afternoon: "Water can flow or it can crash. Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. Gonna be back and flowing in no time!" Cowboy Bebop is a 10-episode adaptation of the original 26-episode anime series from Sunrise studio, about a group of misfit bounty hunters in space, led by Spike Spiegel. Space Force: John Malkovich, Ben Schwartz Join Steve Carell for Netflix’s Upcoming Comedy Series.

Cho plays Spiegel, described as an "impossibly cool bounty hunter with a deadly smile, a wry wit, and style to spare," who traverses the solar system with his ex-cop partner, Jet, who will be portrayed by Mustafa Shakir. Daniella Pineda and Alex Hassell are also part of the main cast, playing Faye Valentine and Spiegel's nemesis Vicious.
