For those of you who are frequent vistiors to Charlie Chan in Cyberspace, you are familiar with the spotlight series I feature every Friday. I choose an actor from the upcoming movie and feature a small bio and picture of the actor or actress plus their listing from IMDb.

Primarily I start at IMDb to see what kind of films and/or how many they've done plus if they've done anything notable outside the world of Charlie Chan. In doing so, I've really educated myself in some of the classic actors and actresses of the Silver Screen and have been surprised a time or two by their listings. Although some of these actors only play small roles in the Chan movies, they are well known in other films. For example, Jonathan Hale, whom was featured last week in the spotlight. Although his role in Racetrack was small, he was better know for playing Mr. Dither's, the boss of Dagwood Bumstead in the Blondie movies.
I hope you get a chance to view the blog and especially the Spotlight series. Please leave comments to show someone, besides Aunt Ling, is reading them.

Not a problem. It's really fun with the research I've been doing. One of the hardest parts though is finding decent pictures of the actors.

Hi Chris,

This won't help you with all of them, but I ran across this website some months back that has great photos of character actors.
