Keye Luke was one of the most successful Asian-American actors of our lifetime. In a career that spanned six decades, from the 30's through at least the 80's, Luke was a dependable character actor, starting off as Charlie Chan's #1 son, Lee, to voicing Chan himself in 1972 while also starring on Kung Fu and the short-lived Anna & The King, to appearing in films like "Gremlins" in the 80's.
Amazing Chan & The Chan Clan may be the only Hanna-Barbera series where Keye had been credited, as he was the original voice of Brak (Space Ghost), and also made uncredited guest appearances on Scooby-Doo, among other places.
We're going to turn the dial back to 1953 here, as Keye appears in the pilot episode of Terry & The Pirates, playing an agent of the Japanese government. This episode also appears at The Land of Whatever.
