https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Morita
Morita made a big splash doing TV and Film appearances in the late 60s, but gained fame showing up on the legendary TV show M*A*S*H* (1972-83) playing a South Korean Army Captain and solidified his name by playing the lovable Arnold Takahashi, who owned Arnold's Diner on another legendary TV show Happy Days (1974-84). Pat broke many barriers and is hailed as being the first Asian actor to be the lead in an American TV sitcom.
But, we all know what his crowning achievement was in the movies. He was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 1985 Oscars and that is why we picked for today ..........
