James Kyson Lee One of Many Koreans in Hollywood

Posted by heroes

April 8, 2008 |

One of the great things about Heroes is the diversity of its cast.  There are a multitude of ages and races. 

One article talks about the great roles for Koreans in Hollywood of late and mentions James Kyson Lee’s role on Heroes.  It goes on to mention “Leonard Nam, who was born in Argentina and studied acting in New York, recently appeared in “Vantage Point” alongside actress Sigourney Weaver. In “Dragonball,” based on the Japanese manga series of the same name, Jamie Chung plays Chi Chi, the girlfriend of Goku. Tim Kang was cast as a mercenary soldier working for Rambo in the recent “Rambo 4.” Sung Kang starred in “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,” and two ethnic Koreans — Rick Yune and Will Yun Lee — appeared in “Die Another Day.” Will Yun Lee also appeared in the TV drama “Bionic Woman.” Karl Yune, another Korean-American actor, appeared in “Memoirs of a Geisha.” 

Hopefully this trend will continue.
