James Hong is the consummate Hollywood character actor, one of the most determined and prolific in the history of film.
In the world of cinema, there are character actors, and there are prolific character acting icons, and then there’s James Hong.
It’s this indefatigable nature that slowly but surely built James Hong into an icon, culminating in some of his breakthrough performances in the 1970s and 1980s, followed by a decades of status as a beloved film geek icon. From the 1990s onward, casting James Hong seemed to become an industry handshake, an acknowledgement of the hard-working actor’s dogged persistence and infectiously optimistic spirit.
Hong, however, isn’t just playing assorted background characters–though he does provide numerous voices here. Notably, he’s providing the English dub for the character of Dr. Serizawa–the high-minded and noble scientist who stumbles upon the key to creating the Oxygen Destroyer, a superweapon used to kill the original Godzilla.
