About this listen
You might not know actor James Hong’s name, but we can guarantee you’ve seen him before. With over seven hundred acting credits and counting, James is one of Hollywood’s most prolific actors and a pioneer in Asian American entertainment.
Born to Chinese immigrants in Minneapolis, Hong endured the aggressive anti-Asian racism of the 1930s, served in the army during Korean War, and—somewhere in the mix—was bitten by the performance bug that would eventually lead to seventy-year long career in showbiz.
From his iconic role as Chi-Fu in Disney's Mulan to the beloved Mr. Ping in Kung Fu Panda, James has been capturing viewers hearts for years. And who could forget his powerful, viral speech as he accepted the Best Ensemble Cast honors on behalf of Everything, Everywhere All at Once at the Actor Awards?
Drawing on never-before-seen archival materials and hours of interviews, his memoir You’ve Seen Me Before is a powerful first-person journey through James's life and family history: a quintessential Asian American post-immigrant story, filled with new anecdotes and wisdom drawn from an unprecedented career, threaded through with an incisive look at nearly a century of Hollywood history.
