R.I.P.
Aw-w-w-w-w………always liked the man. Especially his appearances on M*A*S*H (which, if I’m not mistaken, that screen grab (above) is from).
So strange how we grow these attachments to some people during our lifetime, that we never even meet, or ever truly get to know……
He was one of our favorite recurring actors on M*A*S*H, although he never played the same character twice. He always had a cheerful earnestness in his acting. RIP.
RIP. He had 5 credits for M.A.S.H. playing a different character each time as well an appearance in the Bond film “Man With the Golden Gun”.
Man with the Golden Gun has Fu Manchu himself Christopher Lee as the villain Francisco Scaramanga (with 3 nipples).
Gone too Soon. (sorry). M*A*S*H was my 2nd favorite tv show and I always enjoyed him in it. RIP.
yep, he has a I WAS ON MASH face. Love MASH and he was one of the gang, very likable on it.
Gone, too, Soon
According to wikipedia, but NOT imdb, he had an uncredited role as a reporter in Yongary. If I find anything definitive, I’ll post it here.
Forget MASH, he was on Hawaii 5-0 eight times as different characters. He was on a lot of shows more than once.
But he was a very good character actor. Despite being instantly recognizable, he could play anything convincingly, from a villain to a happy go lucky sort.
Also interesting (in a reverse sort of way) one of his few recurring roles was playing a hispanic detective on Charlie’s Angels (usually hispanics would play Asian characters, like Ricardo Montalban or Henry Silva)
Thanks for the heads-up. Another site lists him as an uncredited “Chinese Agent” in “Yongary,” so this alone makes a rewatch of it a must for me as soon as I get the Blu-ray set.
The more I think about Oh, the more I realize what a good actor he was. One tribute I read said, “Played a bad guy, good guy and funny guy equally well.” Not many can do that successfully.
I liked him as the recurring villain Bon Bon Hai in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.
Yeah, Hawaii 5-0, one of those I need to get back to.
I just watched a Night Gallery with Silva. He played a guy from India. :)
Watched Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (Golan-Globus!!) just days ago and guess who was in it…?
