Richard Narita

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Narita (born November 15, 1951 in Los Angeles ) is an American actor .

Life

The son of Japanese immigrants was born in California. In the late 1960s, Narita trained as an actor in Los Angeles and played in student plays such as in May 1969 in " The Impossible Years ". Since the beginning of 1974, when he played an unnamed passenger in the disaster film Giants in the Sky , numerous small roles in film and especially television productions, most of them series, have been added.

Narita was often cast in crime novels, where he had to play the cliché of a cultivated but opaque Asian - especially as a Japanese. Occasionally, he was also given opportunities to show his comic side, such as the dubious adopted son of Inspector Sidney Wang ( Peter Sellers ), Willie Wang, in the crime-comedy puzzle A Corpse for Dessert . In the television series Magnum , he played three different roles in several late episodes, including most recently a relentless opponent of the title character, and shortly thereafter, in 1990, Narita starred in five late episodes of the long-running Dallas . Richard Narita has hardly appeared in front of the camera since the new millennium.
