Actually, I found him mainly by looking around on the Internet and doing a little research. My viewing habits pretty closely match yours, as I, too, don't get the chance to see many films, and count it a moment of good fortune when I find the time to do so!
I recall seeing another gentleman of Asian, possibly Chinese heritage, in a TV commercial a couple of years ago who also looked the part. In fact, that was the the first thought that came to mind for me as I glimpsed him!
