Khigh Alx Dhiegh (/ˌkaɪˈdiː/ KY-DEE or /ˌkaɪˈdeɪ/ KY-DAY) (born Kenneth Dickerson on August 25, 1910 in Spring Lake, New Jersey, died October 25, 1991 in Mesa, Arizona) was an American television and motion picture actor of Anglo-Egyptian-Sudanese ancestry, noted for portraying Asian roles. He is perhaps best remembered for portraying villains, in particular his recurring TV guest role as Chinese agent Wo Fat on Hawaii Five-O (from the pilot in 1968 to the final episode in 1980), and brainwasher Dr. Yen Lo in 1962's The Manchurian Candidate. He also starred in the short-lived 1975 TV series Khan! as the title character. In 1988, he was featured as Four Finger Wu in James Clavell's Noble House television mini-series. He also guest starred in Ironside (episode: "Love My Enemy") and in the Jake and the Fatman episode "Wish You Were Here."
