BD Wong

BD Wong is an American actor who won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play for his debut Broadway performance in M. Butterfly (1988), playing a Chinese actress who is revealed to be a man — one of the most challenging and nuanced queer roles in American theater history. He is known for Dr. George Huang on Law & Order: SVU (NBC, 1999–2016), Dr. Henry Wu in the Jurassic Park franchise, and Hugo Strange on Gotham (Fox). Wong has been openly gay throughout his career and wrote Following Foo (2003), a memoir about his premature son's NICU survival and his experience as a gay father — one of the first celebrity memoirs to address gay parenthood with this level of intimacy.
