You’ve definitely seen James Hong’s face before. From “Blade Runner” and “Airplane!” to “The Big Bang Theory” and “Seinfeld,” Hong has racked up over 500 credits. That’s more than any actor living or dead. Born in Minnesota, Hong is of Chinese descent and started acting in Hollywood in the 1950s. He has spent his career combating clichés and fighting for more opportunities for Asians in television and film. At the age of 90, Hong is showing no signs of slowing down.

I never gave much thought to the countless stereotypical roles he was offered. Now, as an older adult, I appreciate the perseverance he had and the patience he needed for the rest of 'us' to catch up. For what it's worth, you have my respect and admiration. Well done.

General rule is everyone in at least, a given society, is connected to everyone else by about six degrees of separation. If you have a few dozen friends, there's a solid chance at least one of them has a chain of connections stretching to just about anyone else in a given society. The more friends you have, the more connections you have. If you are especially gregarious and have 200 friends(roughly the upper limit of what any given human can manage), there's a good chance one of them knows a guy that knows a guy etc that eventually knows personally the current sitting president(whoever that happens to be). What I am trying to say is; he was probably at the funeral because he knew someone that was attending either her funeral or someone else's on the same day.

James Hong is super nice too. My husband worked on a film called Trinity Goodheart as the Art Director . Mr. Hong loved exploring a new city to him and he had never been to Charlotte NC before. He asked my husband to take him out and he called me to join him. We have best friend one of them was working on the film with my husband Derek, so she invited her boyfriend to go along. Everything was packed because a huge basketball tournament was going on that weekend but we were to a cozy Chinese restaurant in downtown. He asked us what our favorites were and he ordered dishes not on the menu that he wanted prepared. We were going to all share the check but he paid for it without us realizing. Then he wanted to go somewhere to sit and have drinks. We went to one club that was supposed to be quite but not. The bar/club was way too crowded so we left to find the piano bar in downtown. It had also been converted to a club fir the night but it wasn’t nearly as crowded. The bouncer recognized him and we were able to skip the line. He also carried a little card that said who he was but that was not an issue at all. One person in the crowd recognized him from The Golden Child with EddieMurphy and ask for a picture and he did. He was very kind to anyone who recognized him. We danced some in the piano bar now club and he got us drinks. We ALL had a fabulous time including him. We got him back to his hotel around midnight because they had promo photos the next day. We didn’t go to the lunch for the last day James Hong finished up the film because we had had him to ourselves last night. We were told later that he kept dally asleep during the lunch. Apparently he was worn out from the night before. Such a sweet and humble guy.

He's a national treasure, in my opinion. I always get super excited when I find out he's in something I like, which is often! My favorite roles of his will always be his one-off role in Malcolm in the Middle, and his voice over work in Diablo 3. Small roles, but he put so much passion into his performances you can't help but fall in love them.

I was an extra on the set of RIPD and I remember a flyer being pushed into my face when I was sitting in the holding room. I looked up to see James Hong standing there, inviting me to the Asian Film Festival in Boston at the time. What a treasure. He's truly a remarkable human being.

Loved this video on James Hong. He's been a mainstay for Asian acting community for decades and such an overlooked face and name. He's become the one of the traditional character faces that you expect to see. He's caught up with the other Asian greats of the early years and if there's a Asian Acting Hall of Fame, he should be up there with all the greats. Much appreciation to his craftmanship and hope for many more roles for him.
