Justin Chon is a rarity for a twentysomething actor working in Hollywood. He still lives in Orange County – Irvine, to be specific. And he still lives with his mom – and likes it.

“She was getting kind of lonely, so I keep her company,” said Chon, who appears in a new movie being released this weekend, “Crossing Over.” He plays a Korean American high school kid who immigrated to the U.S. as an early teen.
