Q: Ludi You’ve been a Power Ranger, an Atlantean, and a Defender of Earth Realm. With all of those powers, strengths, healing factors, and skills, which one would you want in real life?

LL: I think at this stage in my life I walk the same path as Liu Kang in my growth. He is a very centered character. He’s like a lone-wolf searching for his pack and I’m at that stage where I know what I want and I’m just searching for a family that I belong in and I think I found that in this cast and in the audience that watches my work.

Q: With Kung Lao arguably being the best fighter defending Earth Realm, he makes great use of his hat as a weapon. If you could choose any of the “Mortal Kombat” characters’ powers, whose would you choose?

MH: I love all of the “Mortal Kombat” characters… but I’ve spent so much time with the character Kung Lao that it’d break my heart to leave him so l have to stay with him. Kung Lao is my man.
