To be honest, I am not sure what movies I had seen him in, but I do remember being incredibly disgusted by his yellow face performance as Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. His role in that movie was ridiculous. I guess we should blame the director or writer or whoever was responsible for this shameful role.
