Oh, well, there we go.

I am Victor Sen Yung, who appeared in numerous, numerous film and TV roles, but is best remembered as Hop Sing on _Bonanza_. He once appeared on _To Tell The Truth_, but the contestants couldn’t figure out which one was him, since he wasn’t dressed up as Hop Sing.

WTG, astorian. I thought I had a stumper this time for sure.
