He was best known for his role as Hey Boy on the CBS television series Have Gun, Will Travel and as Dr.
Li in the film version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Flower Drum Song.
Curiously, though appearing as a series regular on Have Gun, Will Travel he was never afforded a regular featured credit, always instead listed undistinguished from the support guest cast, perhaps an indication of inherent discrimination in that regard.

Garlund in 1960.
He appeared in many movies, often as an uncredited Chinese, Japanese, or Filipino character.
He appeared in many television shows, including The Man from U.
N.
C.
L.
