Five years later, however, the family returned to the United States to escape the impending World War II. Hong's English had suffered while away, and so he essentially began his entire education anew. This led to extreme loneliness despite the fact he had six siblings, but it also lead to a strong interest in acting and performing. "I spent a lot of time talking to myself," Hong recalls. He joined a drama club in junior high school. Though he had talent and passion, he was never really recognized for his acting throughout his high school career.

Because of this, Hong is fluent in both English and Chinese. He returned to America at the age of 10 due to the the approach of World War II. Hong lost much of his English after several years of study in Hong Kong schools, but regained it back in the Minneapolis school system, eventually graduating from USC with a degree in Civil Engineering.

  • Hong's father, Frank W. Hong, was a restaurant owner originally from Hong Kong. When Hong was five, the Hong family moved back to Hong Kong, as his father believed the family had become too "Americanized". Five years later, however, the family returned to the United States to escape the impending World War II. Hong's English had suffered while away, and so he essentially began his entire education anew. This led to extreme loneliness despite the fact he had six siblings, but it also lead to a strong interest in acting and performing. "I spent a lot of time talking to myself," Hong recalls. He joined a drama club in junior high school. Though he had talent and passion, he was never really recognized for his acting throughout his high school career. He attended the University of Minnesota, pursuing a degree in civil engineering. He still retained his passion for acting and formed a comedy duo with his friend Don Parker called "Hong and Parker." A member of the National Guard, Hong was sent to Alabama during the Korean War. His performing career was significantly propelled by self-organized performances for the troops. "It saved my life, in a sense: Because of my engineering background, I was a good organizer. And because of my performing background, I had the ability to entertain. It got me performing and producing; it was sort of my school." After the war, Hong moved west and finished his civil engineering degree at the University of Southern California. The close proximity to major film studios allowed him to appear on the sets of early game shows. His dream of a career in acting became a reality when he formed an arrangement with an agent whom he knew through the Chinese Social Club. Apparently, the agent was convinced to represent Hong after seeing him perform a stunning impression of the host for the game show You Bet Your Life. Now, he serves as one of the most recognizable Chinese actors in Hollywood. In 1967, he married actress Pearl Huang, whom he later divorced in 1973. In 1977, he married Susan (Yip) Hong. The two are married to this day and have a daughter, April, who is an accomplished actress.
  • Veteran character actor James Hong (Chinese name: Wu Hanzhang) was born in Minneapolis, MN, US on 22 February 1929. His parents were immigrants from Hong Kong, and Hong was sent back to Hong Kong for a period of time because his father thought he was growing up too Americanized. Because of this, Hong is fluent in both English and Chinese. He returned to America at the age of 10 due to the the approach of World War II. Hong lost much of his English after several years of study in Hong Kong schools, but regained it back in the Minneapolis school system, eventually graduating from USC with a degree in Civil Engineering. Hong began doing stand up comedy with Don Parker in 1953. He also appeared on Groucho Marx's TV game show "You Bet Your Life," and that appearance earned Hong his first solo stand up gig. By the time he graduated, Hong was seriously torn between his work for what became Caltrans and his continuing interest in acting. By the time Hong got three uncredited bit parts in three major motion pictures, Soldier of Fortune, Love Is A Many Splendored Thing and Blood Alley in 1955, he quit his day job and pursued acting full-time. Hong was able to continue to work steadily from the '50s to the present day. He helped found the East West Players, the first actor's theatre for Asian-Americans, in 1965. He has also been an activist for bigger and less stereotypic roles for Asian-Americans in the media, having often had to play such roles out of necessity. Outside of his role as genetic designer Hannibal Chew in Blade Runner, Hong is best known as the sorcerer David Lo Pan in Big Trouble in Little China. He has done over 450 roles in his 52-year career in movies, TV and LA-area stage. He teaches acting to youth in Hollywood when he has the time, and his most recent role is in the upcoming Ping Pong Martial Arts satire Balls of Fury as a venerable master of Ping Pong.
