What kills me most is that the voice of Uncle Iroh, Mako, was a huge trailblazing Asian actor and now all I can see is him rolling like a wheel on a race car in his grave.

Nauseating.

Mako's first cinema role was in the 1959 film Never So Few. In 1965, frustrated by the limited roles available to himself and other Asian American actors, Mako and 6 others formed the East West Players theatre company, first performing out of a church basement. The company is one of the earliest Asian American theatre organizations, and not only provided a venue for Asian American actors to train and perform, but nurtured many Asian American playwrights.
