Most of you probably know Aki Aleong as Senator Hidoshi on Babylon 5, Mr. Chiang on V: The Series, Colonel Mitamura in Farewell to the King and his starring role opposite Chuck Norris in Missing in Action, Part 3. His career as an actor began in 1955 as a member of the national Broadway production of Teahouse of the August Moon. From there he developed his craft during the days of live television, and has since appeared in more than fifty movies and 150 television shows, along with the likes of Frank Sinatra, John Mills, Michael Rennie, Bette Davis, Marlon Brando, Faye Dunaway, Joanne Woodward, Ben Kingsley, Ernest Borgnine, Martin Landau, Roger Moore, Nick Nolte, Christian Slater, Jean-Claude van Damme, Olivia Hussey, and Pierce Brosnan.

Aki Aleong also has deep roots in the music industry, both as a recording artist and record producer, plus he has several projects in the works, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Aki will share a few stories about his life and career when he joins us during our second hour.

Our first hour will include a return appearance by Jennifer Armstrong, television historian, former writer for Entertainment Weekly and the author of several books, including Seinfeldia: How A Show About Nothing Changed Everything, everything you want to know about the long-running sitcom co-created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David that not only drew heavily from the idiosyncracies of everyday ordinary life, but bled into the real world, altering the lives of everyone it touched in ways no one could have imagined. We’ll talk about the direct line between Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm (the latter of which returns to HBO this fall), how the show’s ensemble cast contributed to its success, the show’s impact on NBC’s Must See TV lineup in the 1990s (and whether the network’s attempt to bring back the Must See TV brand this year will work), and more.

Plus: Tony Figueroa and Donna Allen will look back at the career of actor, writer and comedian Bill Dana. Best known for his character Jose Jimenez, Dana contributed to television behind the scenes in more ways than you may realize.
