Dr. Zhang Lee

Dr. Zhang Lee is a recurring character on the television series Alias. He was played by Ric Young.

Lee is a torturer, always remaining eerily calm and distant from the pain he inflicts. He was always seen wearing a suit and glasses, which led to his being referred to by the nickname "Suit 'N' Glasses" before his name was finally revealed in the third season.

Lee first appeared in the pilot episode, Truth Be Told. He tortured Sydney Bristow by extracting a molar, trying to find out who her employer was. Sydney was eventually able to escape after stabbing him with his own equipment. He returned in the first season finale, Almost Thirty Years, this time to find out what Will Tippin knew about a Rambaldi artifact known as The Circumference. Lee used a truth serum that was known to cause paralysis in 1 in 5 recipients, after which he determined that Tippin knew nothing and could be released. Tippin subsequently turned the serum on Lee, screaming, "One in five, you little bitch!". While Tippin was not paralyzed as a result of receiving the serum, Lee was not so fortunate..

He resurfaced in the season two episode A Higher Echelon, now an electric wheelchair user. His new victim was Marshall Flinkman, who he threatened with a epoxy that would expand, harden, and puncture his organs. Marshall seemed to cave under the threat and agreed to reconstruct a computer program for him. However, this was simply to buy time for Sydney to rescue him and again Lee was left...
