UGH I can't beleive I forgot Sandra Oh. Others on TV, Kal Penn(Kutner in House),John Cho(Harold and Kumar) and Alec Mapa(Ugly Betty, host of fashion, gossip show)

Also for clarification. The official definition according to the US Census 2000 is
An Asian is a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes 'Asian Indian', 'Chinese', 'Filipino', 'Korean', 'Japanese', 'Vietnamese', and 'Other Asian'

Also Hawaiians are not considered Asians.
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands. It includes people who indicate their race as 'Native Hawaiian', 'Guamanian or Chamorro', 'Samoan', and 'Other Pacific Islander'

We are talking about Asians in the US so that might come in handy. Just to provide a benchmark to what is considered Asian in the US.

Umm, dur. Hawaiians are definitely not Asian. Lmao. I am Hawaiian (well part) and that is so not Asian.

The chick from X-Men 2 is Kelly Hu. I love her too! I always wanted to look like her, she's so pretty! I don't think she's that well known, probably the most during the Scorpion King time.

Does Tiger Woods count? He's definitely part. Haha.
