Actor perhaps best known for playing exchange student Long Duk Dong in Sixteen Candles and Kuni (eventually the Wheel Of Fish announcer) in UHF.

Now frequently seen as nurse Yosh Takata on ER.

Born in 1955 in Ogden, Utah. Who'da thunk it?

Gedde Watanabe also was the co-star of the movie Gung Ho, playing the straight man to Michael Keaton. This was supposed to be his "breakout" movie, but it fizzled at the box office. It's rather unfortunate, as he is an enjoyable actor.
