Bobby Lee “MadTV” (FOX)
Season 13 premieres Sept. 15
Capable of impersonating notable Asians like Kim Jong-il, Yao Ming and Michelle Kwan, Bobby Lee’s stamp on the sketch comedy world has been nationally recognized since he joined the MadTV cast in 2001. Of course, his best contributions have been the Korean drama spoofs he appeared in last year. Here’s hoping there will be more dramatic thumb-wrestling scenes set to schmaltzy music this season.
Justin Chon
“Just Jordan” (Nickelodeon)
Season 2 premieres Sept. 16

Moon Bloodgood
“Journeyman” (NBC) Series premieres Sept. 24
When San Francisco newspaper man Dan Vasser (Kevin McKidd) learns he can time travel, he begins to change the course of people’s lives, including that of his deceased fiancée (Moon Bloodgood), much to the chagrin of his current wife. Fresh off a stint on ABC’s “Daybreak,” Bloodgood might find it a nice change of pace to live in the past rather than having to relive the same horrible day again and again.

James Kyson Lee
“Heroes” (NBC)
Season 2 premieres Sept. 24
With the ability to leap language barriers in a single bound, Japanese-speaking Korean American James Kyson Lee is finally ready for his close-up. Playing second banana to fan favorite Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka) Lee’s character, Ando Masahashi, proves you don’t need superpowers to get some major screen time.
Will Yun Lee
“Bionic Woman” (NBC)
Series premieres Sept. 26
Our coverboy Will Yun Lee plays specialist Jae Kim, a member of the Bionics program team that has been commissioned to rebuild Jaime Sommers (Michelle Ryan), who barely survives a gruesome car accident. As she learns to harness her newly discovered capabilities, it’s Lee who excels at being the man behind the machine.
Sandra Oh
“Grey’s Anatomy” (ABC)
Season 4 premieres Sept. 27
Fresh off yet another Emmy nomination, Sandra Oh reprises her role as surgical resident Dr. Cristina Yang. After nearly marrying Dr. Preston Burke (played by the tabloid-riddled Isaiah Washington) in the season finale, Yang will have to take on a new love interest, considering Washington’s contract was not renewed.

C.S. Lee
“Dexter” (Showtime)
Season 2 premieres Sept. 30
In a cast full of twisted, homicidal psychopaths, C.S. Lee’s offbeat portrayal of forensic expert Vincent Masuka might just seem normal in comparison. Masuka, who never shies away from an inappropriate innuendo, works alongside Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), the blood splatter expert for the Miami Police department who also happens to be a serial killer.
