Leland Sun and M*A*S*H[]

Leland Sun had 4 credited appearances on M*A*S*H ranging from Season 3 to Season 10. There is however some doubt about the appearance in Season 3: see the comments in the gallery. One of his more memorable appearances was as a wounded Chinese soldier in Season 8's "Are You Now, Margaret?". Leland is in character here, being ethnic Chinese. While in post op, he has a few lines where he expresses his thanks to Hawkeye in Cantonese.

Season Episode Role (as credited)  Notes
3 There Is Nothing Like a Nurse Mr. Kwang

There are 2 different Mr. Kwangs in the Episode: Sun played the Mr. Kwang in the OR scene, asked by Trapper "Give me some 3-0 chromic, Mr. Kwang"

3 Bombed Mr. Kwang ? Not credited

In the O.R., Hawkeye calls "Leland" to come over and apply anesthesia to a patient. This is plausible as Mr Kwang was helping in the O.R. a few episodes ago. This appearance is not credited.
