He's lovely. I mostly know him from Oz.

I forgot to say! As well as being great on Oz, he's on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, as a psychologist.

And isn't his character on SVU canonically gay? That's still rare on US television and I imagine Wong had to fight for it.

Yeah, he is. It's been a long time since I watched SVU. I think on Oz he's gay but celibate (plays a priest).

Ooooh, is he?? That's great! I looked on Wikipedia and it confirms so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Huang_(Law_%26_Order)

Ooh, is he? I bailed on SVU a few seasons ago, I think I might have to check this out! He was definitely one of the best things about the show.

I've discovered it is streaming on Netflix! I'm going to catch up on a few episodes.

Oh, I loved his character on SVU - if the show had been about him and Melinda Warner, I'd still be watching.

He also recorded a video that made my heart and ovaries DO THINGS. Oh. I really do need to watch Oz, though I know nothing about it other than that it has BD Wong and Seth Gilliam and lots of terrifying violence. /wuss
