Честер Ган (1908–1959) — американский характерный актер китайского происхождения, работавший в Голливуде с 1930-х по 1950-е годы.
Биография
[ редактировать ]Честер Ган родился в Грасс-Вэлли, Калифорния , в семье Винг Хонг Гана и Вонг Ши. Он поехал в Китай, чтобы получить университетское образование, где у него появился интерес к актерскому мастерству. [ 1 ] По возвращении в США он направился в Лос-Анджелес, где работал инженером. [ 1 ]
В 1932 году актёрская карьера Гана в Голливуде началась в роли китайского охранника в «Секретах французской полиции» . Ган сыграл почти сотню ролей, типично изображая азиатские стереотипы, от китайского повара или официанта до японского вражеского солдата. (Однажды он пошутил, что как актер он несет ответственность за сотни смертей на экране.) Он также работал переводчиком и консультантом по китайской культуре и обычаям в голливудских фильмах, таких как « Добрая Земля» . [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
Помимо актерской карьеры, владел магазином тапочек и рестораном в китайском квартале Лос-Анджелеса. [ 4 ] Вторая мировая война поставила паузу в его карьере актера, поскольку он пошел служить на флот. [5][6] He died in San Francisco—where he operated a photography business—in 1959 after a brief illness. He was survived by his wife, his four children, and his father.[7]
