In May, The Cary celebrates Asian-American Pacific Islander Heritage Month with a spotlight on actor, George Takei.

George Takei is an actor, social justice activist, social media mega–power, New York Times bestselling author, and subject of To Be Takei, a documentary on his life and career. At the age of 5, he and his family were uprooted from their home and forced to live at Japanese internment camps. They returned to Los Angeles after World War II. His acting career has spanned five decades, with more than 40 feature films and hundreds of television guest-starring roles to his credit. Takei is best known for his portrayal of Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu on television and film series Star Trek.

From outer space to Capitol Hill, from the silver screen to YouTube, the legendary George Takei has blazed his own trail while conquering new frontiers with a beaming trademark grin. Oh, my! To Be Takei is a look at the many roles played by eclectic 77-year-old actor/activist George Takei. His wit, humor and grace have helped him to become an internationally beloved figure and Internet phenomenon with 7-million Facebook fans and counting. The film offers unprecedented access to the daily life of George and his husband/business partner Brad and chronicles George’s fascinating personal journey from Japanese American internment camp to his iconic and groundbreaking role as Sulu on “Star Trek,” and his rise as an pop culture icon.
