-For his early education, Hong moved to [[Hong Kong]], where he lived in [[Kowloon]], before returning to the United States at the age of 10.

He first developed an interest in performing arts after watching [[Peking opera]] performers rehearse at his father's shop.<ref name=":0" />
-He studied [[civil engineering]] at the [[University of Minnesota]], where he concentrated the majority of his free time on moving plates and fixing templates for the drill squad. <!-- I have no idea what any of those 3 things are, please explain or wikilink --> However, his studies were soon interrupted as the [[Korean War]] began in early 1950's, and Hong was drafted into the [[United States Army]]. After the war, Hong moved to [[Los Angeles]] in 1953 with a friend, here he would finish his degree at the [[University of Southern California]]. Hong soon began working full time as a road engineer for [[Los Angeles County]] during the day, while acting in the evenings, the weekends, and during his vacation and sick days. He eventually quit engineering for good, after five and a half years, to devote himself to acting and voice work full-time.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-10-22 |title=James Hong |url=https://interviews.televisionacademy.com/interviews/james-hong |access-date=2022-06-17 |website=Television Academy Interviews |language=en}}</ref>

-Hong reflected on this experience and how it may have saved his life:
-{{Blockquote|1=I do not know if I would have liked to go to war in Korea but let's admit it that with a G.I. cap and this face charging at the Korean army, the Koreans would try to kill me. But then if we were to retreat and I turned around and ran back the Americans would try to kill me too because they would think I am an enemy in disguise. I definitely think I would have been shot from one side and the other.<ref name=chinainsight />}}
