INFO:

Will Yun Lee was born in 1971 in Arlington, Virginia, though he tells us that he spent much of his childhood moving around. After his parents’ divorce, he was cared for by family and friends for a while before moving back in with his father, who operated a Taekwondo studio in Hawaii.Taking time off from college to help with the studio, he began exploring acting after a conversation with a screenwriter who happened to be a student at the Taekwondo studio. Will tells us that since his career began in 1997, Asian American representation on screen has changed significantly; once relegated to playing doctors or “nerdy” hackers, he is amazed to see Asian Americans now taking on leading roles.
