  1. About non-Asian actors in Asian roles:

    When you were doing MASH, did you ever consider using Khigh Dhiegh?

    He was the guy who was playing Wo Fat, the Red Chinese master spy on Hawaii Five-0, roughly contemporaneously with your show.
    He'd become well-known years before as Dr. Yen Lo, the jovial brainwasher in The Manchurian Candidate (the Sinatra version - you know, the good one).
    Khigh Dhiegh even had a (very) short-lived detective series of his own, Khan!, during this same time frame.

    The reason I'm bringing this up:
    After his passing in the '80s (I think - correction welcomed if needed), it turned out that 'Khigh Dhiegh' was in fact Kenneth Dickerson, from New Jersey, of Anglo-Egyptian-Sudanese descent - all of which he didn't publicize during his lifetime, while maintaining an Asiatic facade for his whole career.

    Just askin', is all ...
