DID YOU KNOW: Ngor wasn’t an actor — he was a Cambodian OB-GYN, who came to the U.S. after surviving torture and imprisonment.
, found Ngor at a Cambodian wedding where she was scouting for the film.After months of back and forth and Ngor missing appointments due to the project not being a priority for him, Golden finally nailed him down and got him to tape an audition.
“It paralleled the experience he had being caught up in the Khmer Rouge invasion — and then having to escape, through very treacherous terrain along the border of Thailand. All of that happened to Dr. Ngor, as it happened to Dith Pran,” Dong said.“It takes a certain kind of talent for a person to be able to do that. Not just anybody can draw on their memories and their experience, and project it in front of a camera for 20 takes,” Dong said.
His ultimate win was also driven by his compelling life story, according to Sandler. It’s similar to the momentum behind Ke Huy Quan’s nomination following decades since his previous best known work, a child star seen in beloved '80s movies“[Ngor’s] honesty was something that hadn’t been seen, and that built the narrative that led to his victory,” Sandler said.
On Feb. 25, 1996, Ngor was shot and killed outside his downtown L.A. Chinatown home. While there was initial speculation that Ngor had been killed on the orders of the Khmer Rouge, three alleged L.A. gang members were put on trial for his death.
