Victor Wong (31 July 1927 - 12 September 2001)
(Chinese : 黃自強) was a Chinese American actor
who appeared mostly in small roles. Wong was a
first generation Chinese-American born in San
Francisco's Chinatown to Chinese immigrant
parents. His father was a Confucian scholar who
had established himself as a journalist in
Shanghai before migrating with his Baptist wife.

Victor attended University of California at
Berkeley to study journalism. He has also attended
Graduate School of Theology, University of Chicago
for theology and MFA at San Francisco Art
Institute. In 1968, Wong was working as a
newscaster for KQED, covering Chinatown for
Newsroom. The stress of the newsroom may have
contributed to his contracting Bell's Palsy in
1974, which caused the left side of his face to
droop, and his newscaster career was finished.
After his newscaster career ended, Wong turned to
acting, starting in the local Asian-American
theatre, and later landing larger roles on the
stages New York City. This led to television work
and eventually, into movies. In 1992, Victor acted
in the Hong Kong movie called Cageman (笼民).
Victor died of heart failure in 2001.
