Richard Loo
One of the most familiar Asian character actors in American films of the 1930s and 1940s, Richard Loo was most often stereotyped as the Japanese enemy flier, spy or interrogator during the Second World War. Chinese by ancestry and Hawaiian by birth, Loo spent his youth in Hawaii, then moved to California as a teenager. He attended the University of California and attempted a career in business. However, the stock market crash of 1929 and the subsequent economic depression forced him to start over. He became involved with amateur, then professional, theater companies and in 1931 made his first film. Like most Asian actors in non-Asian countries, he played primarily small, stereotypical roles, though he rose quickly to familiarity, if not fame, in a number of fine films. His features led him to be a favorite movie villain, and the coming of World War II gave him greater prominence in roles as vicious Japanese soldiers in successful pictures such as The Purple Heart (1944) and God Is My Co-Pilot (1945). He had a rare heroic role as a weary Japanese-American soldier in the Korean War drama The Steel Helmet (1951), but spent far too much of his career in later years performing stock roles. His wife, Bessie Loo, was a well-known Hollywood agent.

Richard Lounello
Richard Lounello's acting career began at the age of 23 with a spontaneous move to NYC. Bartending at some of the hottest nightclubs of the late 1980s allowed him to take acting classes during the day, studying Meisner, Uta Hagen and others. After 4 years in Manhattan and a handful of music videos and industrials and not much else, it seemed time to move back to his hometown of Albany, New York with his new wife. After a year in Albany, Los Angeles was calling and one 4 day cross country drive, Richard arrived in L.A. in October of 1994. 10 months in LA and a few network auditions and not much else, it seemed as though an acting career wasn't going to happen so back to Albany for good. Five more years of bar-tending and a few local commercials and an occasional no budget indie film, At 35, Richard did his first stage play and everything changed! He finally found the love of the craft of acting and did many productions often without pay. During this time he got one line on "Saturday Night Live" playing a cop arresting Mayor Giuliani in a Mango skit. This got him his AFTRA card followed quickly by one line on "Sex In The City" which got him his SAG card. He has continued to work steadily in independent films-nearly 2 dozen and counting. His largest role to date is in the Lifetime movie "A Mother's Revenge", opposite Jamie Luner, in which he had a large supporting role playing Detective Joe Jacobs. Needless to say, his path to being a working actor is far outside the norm as he doesn't live in the major markets ( 2 hours drive to NYC!) but he has managed to carve out a career despite the formidable obstacles.
