Actor Biography:Actor "James Hong" was working as a nightclub comic in San Francisco and Hawaii when he was tapped for his first regular TV role: "Number One Son" Barry Chan in the Anglo-American co-production "The New Adventures of Charlie Chan" (1957). Hong would later appear as Frank Chen in Jigsaw John (1976) and Wang in "Switch" (1977-78). In theatrical features, he played characters bearing such flavorful monikers as Chew, Lo Pan and Bing Wong. He was seen as "Faye Dunaway"'s butler in "Roman Polanski"'s "Chinatown" (1974), repeating the role (minus Faye) in the 1990 sequel "The Two Jakes". One of his most sizeable screen roles was Lamont Cranston's brainy assistant Li Peng in "The Shadow" (1994). James Hong has also directed a brace of feature films, including 1979's The Girls Next Door and 1989's "The Vineyard". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
