How is the Outer Limits connected to Michigan and the Mighty Humanzee?
Fortunate Son / @turnsup84 sent me this episode from the classic TV series The Outer Limits. “The Hundred Days Of the Dragon” is a sci-fi variation of the Manchurian Candidate, and while that has meaning for our current situation today, I noticed James Hong aka “David Lo Pan” had a role. At hh:mm 42:00. Playing 6 Degrees of Separation, there is a tie to the Michigan and the Mighty Humanzee.
James Hong has been active in Hollywood since the 1960s, with over 455 acting roles, director of 5 films. He is 94 and is scheduled to appear in 2 projects this year.
- Blade Runner
- Big Trouble in Little China
- Seinfeld
- Kung Fu Panda
- Elementary
Agents of Shield
- Hawaii Five-O (Reboot & 1960s)
- The Art of War
- XFiles
- Doogie Howser MD.
- Magnum PI

What Does This Have To Do With You, Zee?
In 1997 I was part of the team that presented Arts, Beats and Eats to the city of Pontiac. I introduced my long time friend to Johnathon Witz & Associates, who became their Arts Director for over 25 years.
My role was small, but I was there to witness the heads nod in affirmation in the room at Johnathon Witz’s wonderful idea that transformed summer festivals in metro Detroit.
