Kusatsu was subsequently a regular on several series, but neither the adventure "Bring 'Em Back Alive" (1982-83) nor the Hawaiian-set medical drama "Island Son" (1989-90), in which he played one of Richard Chamberlain's colleagues, lasted very long. His many TV-movies have included "Farewell to Manzanar" (1976), a story of the internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII, "Golden Land" (1988), a Hollywood-set drama based on a William Faulkner story, and the AIDS drama "And the Band Played On" (1993). Feature roles, beginning with "Battle of Midway" (1976), have generally been small, but Kusatsu was especially busy in the 90s with roles in "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" (1993, as a history teacher) and "In the Line of Fire" (1993, as a Secret Service agent). "All-American Girl" (ABC, 1994-95), the first Asian-American family sitcom, marked a return to series TV, with Kusatsu comfortably cast as the protagonist's easy-going father.
