There are some celebrities who bypass fame and head straight into icon status. Their appearance, their style, their sense of humor, and their voice become engrained into the fabric of pop culture, and only a very few talented people ever reach that level.
George Takei is definitely one of them — in fact, I bet you’re hearing his voice in your head right now! Oh my…

Best known for the role of Sulu on Star Trek: The Original Series in various other legs of the Star Trek franchise, George has also leant his talent to films like Mulan, Kubo And The Two Strings, Allegiance, Larry Crowne, and tons more.
