BD Wong - OCA Pioneer Award Recipient 2011
For his role in the Broadway production of M. Butterfly, actor B.D. Wong is the only actor to win a Tony, a Drama Desk Award, an Outer Critics Circle Award, a Clarence Derwent Award, and a Theater World Award for a single performance. Wong's movie and television work continues to successfully break out of the Asian-American cinema stereotype. Wong includes, among his accomplishments as a LGBT activist, the publication of "Following Foo: the electronic adventures of the Chestnut Man", a memoir detailing a gay couple's journey towards parenthood with the assistance of a surrogate mother.
