That character actor you recognize from “that thing”…Has got over 500 credits under his belt.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0393222/?ref_=tt_cl_t2“That” thing is Big Trouble in Little China and he played Lo Pan. Love that movie.
You were not brought upon this world to “get” it.
James Hong totally fucking rocks! He’s been around forever and he’s ALWAYS excellent!
Strangely, I remember him from Lethal Weapon 4 the most.
But yeah, he’s in everything.
Hahahaha! Damn straight! Thanks for the heads up on the name to put to the face, and the Great Bis Story link! I know him best from Blade Runner “I just do eyes.”
I remember him from Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise
Especially the scene where he teaches Booger the zen of hawking loogies: (go to 2:56 to watch the scene)Seinfeld! Party four! Seinfeld!!
Cartwright?! Cartwright?!
I knew who James Hong is and I was afraid this was an RIP thread.
I guess he’s living the positive version of playing stereotypes.
“She say bad word. Then she hang up.”
Whew. I thought this was going to be an RIP thread.
His two appearances in the early years on The Big Bang Theory are great.
And he appeared on Sky King. Woot!
Very nearly (literally) bumped into him at Dragon*Con my first time. Seemed like an insanely nice guy.
While he’s been around forever, the first time I actually ‘noticed’ him was in “Black Widow” (1987), in which Theresa Russell tells him, “You can die, or you can die happy.”
Often speaks with an accent, born in Minnesota.
One of his better acting roles may have been his voice work in Kung Fu Panda.
It kinda boggles my mind how often you see him. I mean, it is almost as tho there isn’t a single other Asian actor available! Yeah, he’s good, but to some extent, having such a familiar face can detract from the movie/show.
Where’s your annoying little friend who thinks he speaks Mandarin? :dubious:
You stole my quote. Now this really pisses me off to no end! 
Checking it seems he doesn’t have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
There is a Facebook group to rectify this error, an online petition, etc.
But it unfortunately won’t happen unless someone ponies up the [del]bribe[/del] money to the association.
Andy Cohen and Wendy Williams are going to get stars but not James Hong?
We are noodle-folk. We have broth in our blood.
