Actor Born: 1915 Death: November 9, 1980 in North Hollywood, CA Biography:Chinese/American actor "Victor Sen Yung" would always be limited by stereotype in his selection of film roles, but it cannot be denied that he did rather well for himself within those limitations. Billed simply as "Sen Yung" in his earliest films, the actor was elevated to semi-stardom as Jimmy Chan, number two son of screen sleuth Charlie Chan. He first essayed Jimmy in 1938's "Charlie Chan in Honolulu", replacing number one son "Keye Luke" (both "Luke" and Yung would co-star in the 1948 Chan adventure "The Feathered Serpent").
