From wikipedia:
Philip Ahn (March 29, 1905 – February 28, 1978) was a Korean-American actor. Ahn was born Pil Lip Ahn in Highland Park, California.

His parents were the first Korean married couple admitted into the United States, and his mother, Helen Lee, only the second Korean woman admitted, when they arrived in 1902. His father, Dosan Ahn Chang-ho, was an educator and an activist for Korean independence during the Japanese occupation. Philip is believed to be the first American citizen born in the United States of Korean parents.
