When I went to school with this guy, he called himself Michael Yee, now
that he is starting to get some press, He wants to be Eric Zee. Is
this his way of appearing less Asian?? I mean, I have never known
another Chinese with the surname of 'Zee'.....

Maybe there's already a Michael Yee in the Actor's Guild so he has to
use a different name. Besides, Zee could be his real last name. There
aere quite a few Chinese families in the Chicago area with that last
name.

eric michael zee or michael yee or whoever is really cool as far as asian
issues go though... so I don't think he's trying to appear less asian...
he's doing a lot of work as far as furthering asian american issues in
media...

peace.

You're probably right. Eric certainly sounds less Asian than Michael,
doesn't it? And what about Sandra DEE?
