Victor Sen Yung (揚森, pinyin: Yáng Sēn)(b. October 18, 1915 in San Francisco, California, d. November 9, 1980 in North Hollywood, California) was an American character actor. He died as a result of accidental asphyxiation.
Although the diminutive actor had dozens of credits in television and feature films, (in mostly stereotypical roles), he is probably best remembered as Hop Sing, the cook on the long-running series Bonanza.
There is a memorial scholarship named after him, awarded each year by the Chinese Alumni Association of his alma mater, University of California, Berkeley, where he had majored in animal husbandry.Filmography
