Even the most die-hard aficionados would be startled that a Chinese-American character actor has the most TV and movie appearances of all time. Good actor, mind you.

8. Long-time favorite character actor.

He appeared in several episodes of The West Wing as the Chinese ambassador to the US. He did very well in the role. He, and all of the guest actors in TWW playing ambassadors from non-Caucasian countries did very well in dispelling cultural stereotypes as they frequently appear on TV.
