Another "just for fun" poll: vote for your favorite performance of a caucasian actor portraying an asian character. Feel free to post a reply telling us why you think so. The list of options is not comprehensive, so write in votes are allowed by voting for the last option and posting a reply to specify a performance I'm overlooking.
As Charlie Chan might say," Result of poll is like an oyster. You must vote to open and see if a pearl is found inside."
Getting more than twice the number of votes than anyone else, Boris Karloff's portrayal of Fu Manchu in "The Mask of Fu Manchu" (1932) is the Favorite Asian as Caucasian role in horror history.
I'm a little shocked that poor Christopher Lee didn't get a single vote, but I suspect he'll be turning up again in a future FIBBERMAC POLL. Maybe he'll do better then.
