Tony Wah Chong Leonetti

Tony Wah Chong Leonetti
Tony Wah Chong Leonetti, played by Evan C. Kim, was the world-famous cameraman Mike Donovan's sound operator, unofficial "business manager" and friend, with a young Asian wife named Fran and several children. Tony went with Mike to Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and other hostile countries to capture a great story about the conflicts ravaging the population, such as wars, civil wars, disasters, coups, uprisings, invasions etc. Tony was nearly killed on numerous occasions, and believed Mike was a kamikaze pilot in a previous incarnation, but secretly enjoyed the thrill of adventure.

While reporting on a rebel uprising in El Salvador, Mike and Tony were the first journalists in the world to see the Visitors Motherships arrive, and were among the hand-picked journalists allowed on the L.A. Mothership that evening. Gradually, the Visitors became more and more powerful, but Mike and Tony didn't mind. When the "Conspiracy of Scientists" began operations, Tony discovered the oddness of scientists Doctor Maurice Jankowski and Doctor Jacques Duvivier, and alerted Mike. He later agrees to sneak aboard the Mothership with Mike, but trips just as they were rushing for the shuttle, forcing him to be left behind. When Mike returned with proof of the Visitors shocking nature, Tony was among the first to see its contents. The transmission to broadcast the tape, however, was jammed by the Visitors, who also sent troops to arrest Mike as a terrorist. Tony gave a copy of the tape to Mike and helped him escape, and managed to convince the authorities that he had no part in Mike's alleged terrorist activities.

When Mike decided to go back to find his missing son, Tony and Mike were both captured on the shuttle's landing platform and taken to the Mothership against their will. Tony was later part of one of Diana's experiments and died of horrific injuries.
