Willie Fung experienced racist typecasting throughout his career. As reported by American
media historian Hal Erickson, "Chinese character actor Willie Fung spent his entire Hollywood career imprisoned by the Hollywood Stereotype Syndrome...Fung was the personification of the '
Yellow Peril' [...] buck-toothed, pigtailed, pidgin-English-spouting comedy relief." Despite being in 125 films over the course of 22 years of acting, his efforts were unappreciated during his time due to racism, and afterwards by critics and historians for having played racially stereotyped roles. ==Partial filmography==
