Actor
Randall Park was out and about on Saturday with his wife and young
daughter in California as his notorious North Korean doppelganger
continued raging against the US over The Interview debacle.
The
40-year-old star of the beleaguered comedy by Seth Rogen and James
Franco was photographed in Los Angeles over the weekend heading to a
friend’s birthday party with his wife and fellow actor Jae Suh Park and
their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Ruby.
The Parks appeared to be in good spirits, even though Mrs Park was seen walking with a cast on her left leg.

The parents and their young daughter all turned out wearing shades of purple, with Mrs Park carrying a gift bag in her hands.
Randall
Park, known to HBO viewers for his role as ambitious Minnesota Governor
Danny Chung on the show Veep, flashed a smile while holding Ruby in his
arms.
The
family did not have a security escort on their Saturday outing, even
though a day earlier Randall Park said in an interview with the Los
Angeles Times that he was 'expecting' threats from North Korea over the
controversial film.
Park, born
and raised in Los Angeles to South Korean parents, played Kim Jong-Un in
the R-rated spoof about an assassination plot on the North Korean
leader.
Park's
co-star Seth Rogen was also photographed out and about this weekend
taking a leisurely stroll on the beach in Malibu with his wife and their
dog, but without bodyguards.
In
the interview last week, Park said he was initially unsure about taking
on the role, which he described as an 'insane but a great idea.'
The
Veep actor said that he was not surprised when in June the totalitarian
regime threatened 'a decisive and merciless countermeasure.'
'I was kind of expecting it,' he said, before adding that making threats 'is kind of their M.O. It's what they do.'

Doppelgangers:
Park (pictured left as Kim Jong-Un) said in a recent interview he was
expecting the North Korean leader's regime to make threats over the
movie
Explosive: The satire focuses on a fake CIA plot to assassinate Kim Jong-Un
Scrapped: The Christmas Day release of the comedy was canceled last week amid terrorist threats
If
the FBI is to be believed, the isolated Communist country made good on
its threats in late November when a group of hackers calling themselves
the Guardians of Peace, which have since been linked to North Korea,
breached Sony Pictures' computer system and leaked sensitive
information, including email exchanges and employees' private data.
A
week before the scheduled Christmas Day release of The Interview, the
hackers threatened US movie theaters with terrorist attacks, prompting
Sony to pull the plug on The Interview.
On Friday, President Obama publicly chided the studio for giving in to the hackers' demands.
Sony has since revealed that it is planning to release the comedy free of charge through its streaming service.
The
scandal surrounding the movie starring Randall Park continued unfolding
over the weekend when North Korea made additional threats against the
US institutions, among them the white House.
