Abstract

James Hong, a 95-year-old actor known for his roles in Hollywood films, reflects on his career and the challenges he faced as an Asian American actor. Despite being typecast in Asian stereotypes, Hong pursued his craft and appeared in numerous projects throughout his seven-decade career. He credits his resilience and fighting spirit to his immigrant parents and his own determination. Hong also co-founded East West Players, an Asian American theater organization, and emphasizes the importance of creating opportunities for oneself. He values his family and considers them his greatest legacy. Overall, Hong's career feels like destiny to him, and he is grateful for the recognition he is now receiving.
