Revenge Export Casting

I'm linking here to a post from last month because it has an intriguing detail I didn't know about. It's an interview Maureen Ryan conducted with Revenge creator Mike Kelley about what the second half of the season has in store (so, spoilers), but most intriguing to me was Kelley's claim that they added a Japanese character because the show had a good chance of breaking into the Japanese market with him on board.
