K E Y E   L U K E
An Asian American Acting Pioneer!
100+ films, 30+ tv shows, worked for 40+ years


BACKGROUND

He has appeared in over 100+ films and 30+ television shows during the course of his many years in acting. He was born on June 18, 1904 in Guangzhou China and died on January 12, 1991 in Whittier California. Though his roles in the Charlie Chan movies might cause some questions with various people in the 90's, that he worked and progress to more accurate roles is a tribute to his desire to play non-stereotypical roles. He was rarely in the title role of a film, but was constantly cast in all Asian/Chinese-related roles. People such as James Hong now carry his tradition in today's film industry.
