The only time I #beheld (ie in person) Mr #JamesHong was at the #Burbank Media Center Mall
I was there to see the #IronGiant on a big screen many years before I got my first #HDTV
I got there early and chose to wait near the main entrance where they had the largest carousel I was aware of in LA
While I was watching the crowd lined up for next ride I noticed Mr Hong walking towards me before veering towards the theatre escalators
Being a bigger movie fan than #Tarantino, I recognized him immediately from the many movie roles Id seen him in and thought he looked a lot taller as #LoPan
#BigTroubleInLittleChina has been one of my all time fav movies since seeing it in a theatre
I attempted a discreet little wave of my hand on the rail when he glanced my way but observed no reaction
