Where Have I Seen That Guy?

Whether you know him by name or not, you’ve definitely seen James Hong before. From movies like “Blade Runner” and “Chinatown,” TV shows like “The Big Bang Theory” and “Seinfeld,” and animated features like “Kung Fu Panda” and “Mulan,” in his over six decades in Hollywood, Hong has become one of the most credited actors in history. Born in Minnesota to parents from Hong Kong, Hong moved to Los Angeles in the 1950s to pursue his dream of becoming an actor.

Even in his 90s, Hong is showing no signs of slowing down. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
