George Takei

American actor George Takei is most known for his role as Hikaru Sulu, helmsman of the USS Enterprise in the television series Star Trek. He is one of many actors we have on our books, all of whom are available for a range of public appearances, celebrity engagements and endorsement opportunities. He fights tirelessly for human rights and to improve Japanese American relations, winning many awards as a result of this work. George is also a proponent of gay rights and is an active campaigner when it comes to local and national politics, all the while maintaining a successful acting career.
Born in Los Angeles, America, Takei began his acting career at a tough time in Hollywood, namely the 50s when very few Asian faces were ever seen on TV and movie screens. Early roles included things like voice-overs for English dubs of Japanese films (including Godzilla Raids Again and Rodan) as well as a role in Emmy Award winning series Playhouse 90. His big break however, came in 1965 when cast in a few pilot episodes of Star Trek. At the same time George landed a role as Captain Nim in The Green Hornet.
Having become somewhat legendary for his role in Star Trek and the many associated films, George has also appeared in Will & Grace as himself, on Heroes as Kaito Nakamura and reality shows such as I’m a Celebrity… Get Me out of Here! An internationally recognised screen presence and hard campaigning personality, George Takei is a popular choice when it comes to public engagements and endorsements for obvious reasons.
