My Take
Reggie Lee is one of those actors who quietly becomes the best part of every show he's in. I first noticed him as the slippery, menacing Bill Kim on Prison Break — a role that could have been a throwaway villain but Lee made genuinely chilling. Then came Grimm, where he played Sgt. Wu for six full seasons and basically stole every scene with his deadpan delivery and surprisingly deep character arc. Add in his film work — Fast and the Furious, Tropic Thunder, The Dark Knight Rises — and you realize this guy has been everywhere, consistently delivering. Born in Quezon City and raised to become a staple of American TV, Lee is a perfect example of the kind of Filipino-American talent that Hollywood leaned on hard without always giving the credit it deserved.
