Father Ray Mukada is a character on the HBO television series Oz, played by B. D. Wong.

[edit] Character History

He is a priest who graduated at the top of his class at the Pontifical Gregorian Academy in The Vatican. He was initially serving under Cardinal Francis Abgott (Gavin MacLeod) who called him his "Great Yellow Hope". Unfortunately, Abgott's extremely Conservative views clashed with his more idealistic ones. After disagreeing with the Cardinal a few times too often, he was transferred to Oz, which "extinguished" his career as a priest. He works along side of Sister Pete to try and help the prisoners in Oz. Although Father Ray Mukada and the Christan group have some issues about religion in the series, Father Ray still tries his hardest to make life in Oz a little easier for the inmates. He has been noted for several attempts to try and straighten up the inmates from drug addictions, murders, etc. He is still the main religious authority in Oz.
