Early life
George Takei was born in Los Angeles, California. In 1942, the Takei family was sent to Rohwer, an internment camp in Arkansas, then were later transferred to Tule Lake War Relocation Center in California. Despite this experience, the family developed a renewed dedication to remain involved in the American democratic process. He and his family returned to Los Angeles at the end of World War II.
In Hollywood during the 1960s, he pursued his ambition to be an actor at a time when Asian faces were rarely seen on television and movie screens; Takei appeared alongside such actors as Richard Burton in Ice Palace (1960), Alec Guinness in A Majority of One (1962), Cary Grant in Walk Don't Run (1966), and John Wayne in The Green Berets (1968), which was the only movie to support the Vietnam War.
