In a fan favorite season 2 episode of "Seinfeld", James Hong portrays Bruce, the maître d' of a Chinese restaurant where pals Jerry (Seinfeld), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and George (Jason Alexander) hope to grab a quick bite at ahead of a movie — if only they can get seated at a table.

As Bruce, who is unfazed by the trio's bribes and tomfoolery throughout the episode, Hong "just dug into my own comedic sense and made sense out of nonsense," he says.

"They tell me it is one of the five best Seinfeld's in the files. And how can I not be happy to be in one of the top five Seinfeld episodes?"
