Really an actor that broke personal barriers for an Asian-American that has gone through a lot. And has survived a lot. Because he broke the barriers to play a lead role. Like Sulu in the original Star Trek series. Though Asian-American actors have come a long way, but still have a long way to go. He should have had more important and more better roles. Due to the lack of roles that Asian-Americans were getting. And if they did get any roles, they were minor roles or villanious. Think that he definately should had been a bigger star. Since he does have the talent!
