Clyde Kusatsu

Clyde Kusatsu (born September 13, 1948) is a U.s. actor.

Kusatsu was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he attended'Iolani School. Kusatsu began acting in Honolulu summer stock, and after studying theater at Northwestern University, started to make his mark on the small screen in the mid-1970s. Usually this mustachioed, with a dapper, professional air, he has most often played doctors, but his repertoire has included a generous sampling of teachers (usually the college professors), businessman, detective, the church ministers and other intelligent, middle-class types. With his quiet, wry line delivery, Kusatsu made a memorably clever and hilarious sparring partner for Archie Bunker (Carroll O'connor) has several episodes of All in the Family as the Reverend Chong, refusing to baptize Archie's grandson without the permission of the boy's parents. During this period Kusatsu also worked with the Asian American theater group East West Players in Los Angeles.
