Baoan Coleman
Baoan Coleman is an actor.
Four screen credits across fifteen years is the whole of the record held here. Born An Nguyen Coleman in Vietnam, he worked in American film and television as Baoan Coleman, and the public account of his career is short enough that padding it would mean inventing things.
What there is: a gunboat captain in Rambo: First Blood Part II in 1985, and Col. Binh Le Cao in Rules of Engagement in 2000, a military courtroom drama that gave him considerably more to do. Between the two he found the work that outlasted both. He voiced Mr. Hyunh across Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold! and carried the part into Hey Arnold! The Movie, which means a generation of children knew his voice for years without ever seeing his face or learning his name.

Where to start with Baoan Coleman
Begin with Hey Arnold!. Mr. Hyunh is the role he actually built rather than visited, a recurring voice across a long-running series, and the series treats its adult characters with more seriousness than a Nickelodeon cartoon has any obligation to.
Hey Arnold! The Movie carries the same character to a feature and is worth the time only if the show lands for you. On the live-action side, Rules of Engagement is the better of the two, a courtroom picture where he plays a Vietnamese colonel and gets real scenes to hold. Rambo: First Blood Part II is a functional part in a very loud film, and completists only.
