My Take
John Lone, or Zun Lung, is for me inseparable from Puyi in The Last Emperor. That a Hong Kong-born actor could anchor a sweeping Hollywood epic and earn a Golden Globe nomination, in an era when Asian leads were vanishingly rare, still strikes me as quietly heroic. He largely retired from the spotlight afterward, but that single role secured him a permanent place in cinema history. I count him among the most underappreciated actors of his generation, and I have never forgotten that face.
