Behind the award
Wong took home a Tony for playing Song Liling in M. Butterfly. For that same part, he is the only Broadway actor ever to also receive the Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Clarence Derwent and Theatre World Awards.
Big break
Wong's Broadway debut came in M. Butterfly opposite John Lithgow, and it was the role that brought him attention and a shelf of awards.
About the name
At that time, Wong stopped using his full name and started going by his initials. He has since stopped using punctuation in those initials.
Beyond film
In 2008 Wong played 12 roles in the one-man show Herringbone at McCarter Theatre at Princeton University. The next year he took the show to the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego, and in 2012 he did two New York performances to benefit Dixon Place, recorded live for a CD.
