Name a TV series, from ''Series/HaveGunWillTravel'' to ''Series/TheXFiles'' to ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'', and he's probably been in at least one episode. Fans of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' may remember him as the Maitre d' from the famous "[[Recap/SeinfeldS2E11TheChineseRestaurant Chinese Restaurant]]" episode. He also played Maitre d' at a Chinese restaurant in ''Literature/FlowerDrumSong'' (1961), ''Series/AllInTheFamily'' (1975), ''Series/{{Alias}}'' (2001) and ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' (2007-8). By his own account, one of his beliefs is to always [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously handle his roles seriously and try to infuse his characters with humanity]], even if the character (as was frequently the case in his earliest roles) was [[EthnicScrappy written as a one-note ethnic stereotype.]][[invoked]]
