This performance earned him critical acclaim and multiple prestigious awards, setting the foundation for a career that includes both dramatic and voice acting roles.

Throughout his career, Wong has consistently engaged with theatrical productions, returning to Broadway in revivals such as “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” as Linus and Stephen Sondheim’s “Pacific Overtures.” He has also taken on unique roles like the enigmatic Whiterose in the television series “Mr. Robot,” which garnered him Emmy and Critics’ Choice Television Award nominations.
