Handrejka 1,903 Posted April 7, 2018 6 hours ago, alt obits guy said: Noted South Korean-American character actor Soon-Tek Oh has reportedly died. Hasn't yet been picked up by major sources but his prolific appearances, including in the James Bond film 'Man with the Golden Gun', should see his death get some coverage. For now, here is a South Korean source. http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=3046619 His was in quite a lot of M*A*S*H episodes as well. I think he was one of the few actual Koreans on the show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,026 Posted April 7, 2018 Remember Albert Moses? Well the press didn't, despite his roles in The Spy Who Loved Me, East Is East and Carry On Emmannuelle, and all his other roles on TV, including working with Benny Hill and Little and Large. And yet despite this, Soon-Tek Oh will probably get coverage. I continue to be saddened somewhat about our own showbiz personalities who keep getting missed, and yet those who were in US shows always get press. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
