where is TANK in the MATRIX?

Hunter noticed that “Tank” (played by actor Marcus Chong) didn’t appear in The Matrix: Reloaded. That’s odd. I mean, he was a lesser character, but he had his fans, right? Well anyway, Chong isn’t too happy about it all, and even some fans of the film have got his back.

Why he wasn’t asked back? That isn’t really apparent. According to the MCAT site, there was some sort of terroristic threatening, pay disputes, etc. The site makes a jumbled attempt at laying out evidence, but evidence of what, I don’t know.

Fun fact: Marcus Chong’s father is Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong fame! One of his sisters is Rae Dawn Chong.

i read quite awhile back that he wasn’t asked back due to his…less than appropriate behavior on the set. pranks that went a little too far, bad attitude, unreasonable demands, and the like.

…you’ll come to note that he’s a bit… odd.
