Al
Leong: Hey, it's that guy
You've
probably seen this guy in your favorite movie or TV show. He's the
Asian guy with the long hair and cool mustache. You will remember
him from that scene where he steals candy from that shop in Die Hard.
And, he improvised that scene with the candy stealing. He's been
both a stuntman and an actor for many years. He's the blue collar
guy in the movies.
He's
the bad ass dude that plays the “Thug” or “Henchman”. I am
not making that up either. He's always listed in that manner.

Yep,
he's the guy that has been killed by everyone. Heck, he was killed
by John
McClane
and Jack
Bauer
and that's impressive. He was also killed by an Ice Cream cone in
one movie!
Sadly,
it looks like he's retired from the movies. He stopped acting in
2005.

On the early episodes of the Midnight Movie Club, Lee and Dan talk about Al Leong all the time.
Yeah that's right I remember that now. I believe I heard a few of those episodes with them mentioning him.
I love that John and Jack kind of kill him in a similar manner (Die Hard and 24)
Plus, he has to be the only guy ever killed by an Ice Cream Cone.
I am still looking for his scenes from She's Having A Baby where he is a photographer freaking out over a baby-related shoot.
I've tried searching for it and can't find on it. I havent seen that movie in a long time. I do remember Wil Weathon having a cameo as Wesley Crusher in the final moments.
