        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>He has more credits than nearly anyone in Hollywood, yet he still isn&#8217;t a bona fide &#8220;star.&#8221;</p><p>In his legendary career, actor James Hong — who recently went viral as <strong>&#8220;Hollywood&#8217;s most prolific actor&#8221;</strong> — has accrued more than 600 acting credits and inspired countless careers, yet he still doesn&#8217;t have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.</p><p>Now, a growing group of fans is actively trying to change that for Hong, 91, whose diverse projects include &#8220;Seinfeld,&#8221; &#8220;Big Trouble in Little China&#8221; and &#8220;Blade Runner.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve said it before and I&#8217;ll say it again: James Hong deserves a Star on the #Hollywood Walk of Fame. I&#8217;ve already started the nomination process. Who&#8217;s with me? #StarForJamesHong,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/danieldaekim/status/1290416469709225985" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wrote</a> &#8220;Hawaii Five-0&#8221; and &#8220;Lost&#8221; star Daniel Dae Kim in a now viral tweet earlier this month.</p><p>Other actors including Harry Shum Jr., of &#8220;Crazy Rich Asians,&#8221; and comedian Ken Jeong have also voiced their support for Hong getting a star, <strong>CNN reported</strong>.</p><p>Roughly 30 people are selected annually to be added to the Walk of Fame, where the creation and installation of a star costs $50,000. Kim, 52, has already raised more than enough via <strong>a GoFundMe</strong>.</p><p>&#8220;This man epitomizes the term &#8216;working actor,&#8217; and that&#8217;s not even taking into account all he&#8217;s done to help further representation for actors of color,&#8221; reads the fund-raiser&#8217;s description of Hong.&nbsp;&#8220;Let&#8217;s show this man the respect and love his career has merited by getting him a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!&#8221;</p><p>Hong himself believes his name&#8217;s absence from the Walk of Fame is more than just an oversight by the industry. In an interview with the <strong>Great Big Story podcast</strong>,&nbsp;he referred to it as evidence of Hollywood&#8217;s continued prejudices.</p><p>&#8220;Even to this day, 500 credits or so, I don&#8217;t have a star on the Walk of Fame. So in a sense there is a lot of hidden prejudice behind this industry. They don&#8217;t think of us, like I say, the principal person,&#8221; he told the outlet. &#8220;And I try to fight against that.&#8221;</p><p> <noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-47.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-47.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-47.jpg" /></p><p> James Hong and Marisa Miller</p><p class="credit">©Universal/Courtesy Everett Col</p><p> <noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-46.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-46.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-46.jpg" /></p><p> James Hong in &#8220;Beast Mode&#8221;</p><p class="credit">Courtesy Everett Collection</p><p> <noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-45.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-45.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-45.jpg" /></p><p> A street performer, dressed as Spider-Man, walks along Hollywood&#8217;s Walk of Fame near TCL Chinese Theatre.</p><p class="credit">Los Angeles Times via Getty Imag</p><p> <noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-48.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-48.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-48.jpg" /></p><p> James Hong in &#8220;Unfallen&#8221;</p><p class="credit">Everett Collection / Everett Col</p><p> <noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-49.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-49.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-49.jpg" /></p><p> James Hong in &#8220;Blade Runner&#8221;</p><p class="credit">©Warner Bros/courtesy Everett C</p><p> <noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-50.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-50.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/james-hong-50.jpg" /></p><p> Jack Nicholson and James Hong in &#8220;The Two Jakes&#8221;</p><p class="credit">©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Col</p>]]></content:encoded>
