Don’t Make Me Go is billed as a father-daughter adventure-comedy. Per the initial report, Cho plays a single father with a rebellious teenage daughter. The two decide to take a cross-country road trip to find and reunite with the teenager’s estranged daughter. As one would expect, comedic hijinx ensue along the way. However, Cho’s character takes this as a chance to try and connect with his daughter and teach her important values and lessons she will carry with her for the rest of her life.

In addition to his starring voice role in Netflix’s Over the Moon, Cho recently wrapped filming the streamer’s highly anticipated live-action Cowboy Bebop adaptation. Additionally, the Star Trek actor recently starred in the CBS All Access reboot of The Twilight Zone as well. Up next, the versatile performer will appear alongside Jackie Chan, Constance Wu, and Jimmy O. Yang in the Sony Animation picture Wish Dragon, which is set to release on Netflix later this year.
