Real name: Victor Wing Wong.
Born: San Francisco, CA.
Height: 5' 6"or 5'7 1/2".


Victor Wong was an American actor of Chinese descent. He played the Chinese cook in "King Kong" and "Son of Kong".
His Dad, Toy Sin Wong and Mom (?) were both born in China according to the 1920 LA Census. The Dad had immigrated in 1882 and was a "laborer for a moving picture studio".
His "Young Men's" (Ancestry.com) WWII Draft Card from 1942 says he was 5'7 1/2" and born in San Francisco, but when he enlisted in the US Army in 1943, his height is given as "66 inches" (5'6"). He played in American "propaganda" movies during the war. His wife, Rose, was born in CA and 10 years his junior in the 1940 Census.
