My Take
BD Wong belongs in a category almost no one else occupies. Winning the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Clarence Derwent, and Theatre World Awards for a single role in M. Butterfly makes him, by record, a Broadway one-of-one, and that level of total mastery commands my respect. What I admire just as much is his range, from Dr. Wu in Jurassic Park to Whiterose in Mr. Robot, plus voice and stage work. He represents a long, hard fight for Asian American actors to break through, and his craftsman's focus, the way he turns one role into legend, makes him an easy favorite of mine.
