Karl Yune

Karl Yune is one of those actors I recognize instantly even when I can't place the name. Washington, D.C. born and Columbia University educated, he's quietly built a career across genres, Koichi in Memoirs of a Geisha, Tak Mashido in Real Steel, and Maseo Yamashiro in the Arrow corner of the DC television world. His first lead came earlier in the cult thriller Anacondas. What I notice is the range, from prestige period drama to comic-book TV, and a steadiness that keeps him working. He's the kind of dependable character actor a production is lucky to land, and I always enjoy spotting him.
