BD Wong Net Worth $8 Million
Roberta Christine and William D. Wong’s middle son, BD Wong, has two siblings. He attended Lincoln High School, where he began taking acting classes and performed in several school productions. He went on to San Francisco State University after that.
Wong’s acting career began in the 1980s, with modest roles in shows like “Simon & Simon” (1986) and “The Karate Kid, Part II” (1986), among others. He rose to notoriety, however, as a member of the Broadway show “M. Butterfly” in 1988, for which he received numerous honors. His career, as well as his net worth, has risen steadily since that appearance. He also acted in films such as “Family Business” (1989) and “Crash Course” (1989) during the 1980s (1988).
With the dawn of the 1990s, his career soared to new heights, as he began to appear in more important parts, further increasing his net worth. In 1993, he played Henry Wu in the blockbuster picture “Jurassic Park,” and the following year, he played Dr. Stuart Kim in the TV series “All-American Girl” (1994-1995). He first appeared in the films “Executive Decision” (1996), alongside Kurt Russell, Halle Berry, and Steven Seagal, and “Seven Years In Tibet” (1997), alongside Brad Pitt and David Thewlis, in the character of Father Ray Mukada in the TV series “Oz” (1997-2003). Prior to the end of the 1990s, he appeared in films like “Slappy and the Stinkers” (1998) and voiced a character in the animated picture “Mulan” that same year.
With appearances in popular films and TV programs like “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (2001-2015) as Dr. George Huang, and in 2005’s “Stay” as Dr. Ren with Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds, and Naomi Watts, he continued to line up success after success in the 2000s, increasing his net worth even more. During the run of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” Won had only a few voice cameos with no major roles; however, after the show finished, he began hunting for new employment, which was relatively easy for him due to his enormous popularity. In 2015, he appeared in the film “Jurassic World,” reprising his role as Henry Wu, and the television series “Mr. Robot.”
He was recently cast in the TV series “Gotham” (2016) as Hugo Strange, and he will also appear in the film “The Space Between Us,” which will be released somewhere in 2016, and will undoubtedly raise Wong’s net worth.
In terms of his personal life, BD Wong was married to Richie Jackson from 1988 to 2004 and is the father of twin sons, one of whom died shortly after delivery. Their sons were born via surrogacy, and Wong wrote about it in his autobiography “Following Foo: The Electronic Adventures Of The Chestnut Man.” He is also known for his support of the LGBT community and his involvement with a number of charities, including Materials for the Arts and the Ali Forney Center, among others.
