His career continued into the 1980's with work on "Private Benjamin," "Dragnet" and "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." | Mako appeared on television in "McHale's Navy," "I Spy" and "77 Sunset Strip" but was "discovered" in 1955 by famed director Robert Wise, who cast him in the role of Po-han in the Steve McQueen film, "Sand Pebbles." The role won Mako a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and an Oscar nomination. | Williams made her film debut as Dustin Hoffman's surprised overnight guest in "Kramer vs. Kramer" and has been in 20 films since, such as "Poltergeists" one and two, "The Big Chill," "Stir Crazy" and "Wyatt Earp." Roles in television movies "Adam" and "Baby M" earned her Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. | Lee has appeared on over 80 television shows, including a recurring role as the Chinese oil minister Han in "Dynasty" and "The X-Files," "Matlock" and "The District," but the big screen is where he's most recognized. He was the pirate Captain Kinh in "Rambo" and the general in "Leathal Weapon 4," and his credits include "Another 48 Hours," "Future World" and "King Kong."
