This article is inaccurate. Keye Luke was NOT the first Asian actor to play an Asian lead detective. The very early Charline Chan movies (before Warner Oland) made between 1926 and 1931 featured Asian actors but were not a commercial success. (Check out Wikipedia's own entry on this).

It would be nice to have a picture

I came out to see what "Mr. Wong" looked like. If anyone has a picture, I think that would be nice to include it in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.99.187.99 (talk) 20:21, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
