James Hong - over 600 TV/movie credits as an actor.

[underpants]

He's probably been in more movies than any actor in history

As of July 2020, Hong has 469 TV credits, 149 feature films, 32 short films and 22 video games to his IMDB page. That makes for a total of 672 credits, and a breathtaking legacy that will live on in Hollywood history.

Even at 91 years old, Hong isn't ready to slow down any time soon.

"Asians are beginning to do their own plays and own TV series and movies and getting big box office. So it's only a matter of time."

To please his parents, Hong graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in civil engineering. While working for Los Angeles County building roads, he continued to try to find work as an actor and comedian.

1. This role comes to mind first.

[Beartracks]

2. Lol I didn't realize that was him!

I guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

3. "Chinatown," first, last and always. Great actor. (nt)

[Chichiri]

4. "Hey, it's that one guy!"

I remember a couple years ago watching "Colossus" from 1970 -- I recognized him at once as that one guy, from, you know, a bunch of things, and he already looked middle-aged back then. So many roles, so much work, I'd say James Hong is a national treasure.

5. Lo Pan!

" All I know is, this Lo Pan character comes out of thin air in the middle of a goddamn alley while his buddies are flying around on wires cutting everybody to shreds, and he just stands there waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him with *light* coming out of his mouth!??!?!"

7. THIS!!!!

[Coventina]

6. He was a regular on the original Hawaii 5-0

Always a guest star, with a variety of characters (he did not play just one role).

He also made a guest appearance on Big Bang Theory!



I always enjoy seeing him!

8. He was amazing in kung fu panda!

Loved big trouble too...

[Aristus]

12. The voice he did was hilarious.

He captured the stoic befuddlement of a duck who somehow ended up with a panda for a son.

[Harker]

9. Chew in "Bladerunner."

"I just do eyes."

[malthaussen]

10. Yeah, he pulled in a few paychecks.

Most actors would be happy to have a tenth of his work.

11. The man deserves an Academy Honorary Award for lifetime achievement.

13. I'm told IRL, he speaks with a Minnesota accent.

I would love to hear that.
