George Hosato Takei (b. April 20, 1937) is an American actor who is perhap best known for his role in the TV series Star Trek, in which he played the helmsman Hikaru Sulu on the USS Enterprise. On January 9, 2006, Takei began recurring appearances as the announcer for The Howard Stern Show, after that show's move to satellite radio. Takei is also known for his rather deep and unusual voice and his catch phrase, "Oh my!" He is currently cast in the TV show Heroes as Hiro Nakamura's father.
In the 1990s and early part of the twenty-first century he had guest star appearances on some science fiction television series. He played himself in a 3rd Rock from the Sun episode about a science fiction convention, and an episode of Malcolm in the Middle. In 1999, he was the voice of First Ancestor Fa in Disney's Chinese-themed Mulan animated feature.
He appeared as Warlord Shank on the show Space Cases. He also provided the voice of his own head in a jar in the Futurama episode "Where No Fan Has Gone Before". He has also provided voices for several characters on The Simpsons including "Akira," a Japanese waiter who appears sporadically on the series. In an episode of Scrubs he portrayed a minister that "looked like Sulu." He also provided the voice for the Warden on the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode "Imprisoned." More recently he guest starred on an episode of Will & Grace playing himself after he came-out for the first time on television. In August 2006, he appeared again as himself in the episode Shawn vs. the Red Phantom, also set at a science fiction convention, on Psych.
He was in about 127 different TV shows and movies....
