- Says his breakthrough came when he appeared on Groucho Marx's game show Apostando Tudo (1950) and did impersonations of Groucho, James Cagney and others, which resulted in a huge flood of fan mail and landed him an agent.
- He has appeared in four films that have been selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant": Flor de Lotus (1961), Chinatown (1974), Apertem os Cintos, o Piloto Sumiu (1980) and Blade Runner: O Caçador de Andróides (1982).
- Unsuccessfully auditioned for the role of Lt. Hikaru Sulu on Jornada nas Estrelas (1966), which went to George Takei. Twenty years later, his and Takei's characters faced off against each other in The Wish Child (1986).
- He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6931 Hollywood Blvd. on 5/10/2022. Jamie Lee Curtis and Daniel Dae Kim were guest speakers at the ceremony. His star is located in front of Madame Tussauds. As of 2022, Hong--at age 93--is the eldest honoree of the award and is actually 31 years older than the Hollywood Walk of Fame itself.
- He has appeared in five films that have been nominated for the Best Picture Oscar: Suplício de uma Saudade (1955), O Canhoneiro do Yang-Tsé (1966), Chinatown (1974), Esta Terra é Minha Terra (1976) and Tudo em Todo o Lugar ao Mesmo Tempo (2022). The latter won in the category.
- All the laundrymen from Minneapolis had nothing to do on weekends, so they would gather at my father's store, herb store. I remember that, because we'd have those little wooden stools and they all gathered there, and they hired these Chinese opera people from San Francisco to come and do their thing ... I was only a little boy. You watch them with wide eyes, 'Wow! What a profession.'
