Kim Won-hae

Kim Won-hae is the sort of actor I instinctively trust. Trained at the Seoul Institute of the Arts, he spent the early nineties grinding through plays and musicals, then became an original member of Nanta, the wordless percussion comedy that demands you sell everything with your body. That foundation explains his sharpness on SNL Korea and his easy command of film, TV, and stage alike. He's a character actor's character actor, the kind whose presence quietly raises a production's floor. I'll always take a cast with a craftsman like him over a roster of pretty faces.
