Favorite Characters: Long Duk Dong from Sixteen Candles (1984)
The Role: The crazy Chinese foreign exchange student who has a wild night of fun and hysterics with his new love and a lot of alcohol.
As Played By: Gedde Wantanabe
Best Bit: Partying hard at Jake Ryan's house with his girl and getting as drunk as a skunk.
Best Quote(s): "What's happenin' hot stuff?", "Sexy girlfriend...bonsai!", "She geta' married!", "Automobile?!"
Why He's A Favorite: In a film that's bursting with giddy fun and enjoyment at every corner, The Donger is a totally hilarious and delightful scene-lifter and Wantanabe finds humor in so many unexpected area's (even his outrageous laugh cracks me up!). His predicaments are so random and even though the role is written as a goofy stereotype, the actual performance never relies on them, and is nothing short of comic dynamite.
