Q: Which of the actors listed was the third to play Charlie Chan?
 |
Answer: Asians didn't start landing star roles in Hollywood until the arrival of Bruce Lee in the 1970s, so Roland Winters was the third European to play the Chinese detective. |
Key Luke, however, played the bumbling but endearing "Number One Son", beginning with "Charlie Chan in Paris" (1935). Chan author Earl Derr Biggers got the idea for his detective during a vacation to Hawaii in 1919. Biggers wrote six Chan mysteries, all of which were filmed, with the exception of Keeper of the Keys (1932).
