Trivia

Canadian-born actor of Japanese descent, Robert Ito was, for many years, a dancer with the National Ballet of Canada before turning to acting in the mid-1960s. Still a busy performer today (2003), he is probably best known for his seven-year stint as "Sam Fujiyama" on the popular TV series Quincy M.E. (1976), opposite Jack Klugman's title character.
