I heart BD! You were my John Cho before there was a John Cho. The only Asian-American face on TV and film that I knew of back then. Although Hollywood has always tried to hold you back (All-American Girl comes to mind… as well as probably getting eaten by raptors in Jurassic Park), you’ve always been around and always a dependable actor. You were, for the LONGEST TIME the only person in my video tape collection that spoke English and looked like me. So I salute you B.D. Although it would be nice to see Dr. Huang kick some ass on Law & Order SVU for once (I saw your head get slammed against the wall by someone you were interrogating in one episode, I think the prisoner was still in handcuffs at the time…). I guess anything’s better than an Executive Decision 2, no?! Just jokes BD, just jokes!PS. If we’re playing 7 Degrees of Separation to connect B.D. Wong to John Cho, here’s a hint, just between you and me: Kim Possible.
