Multifaceted Korean-American actor & Taekwondo Master Will Yun Lee has taken on James Bond, gone claw-to-claw with The Wolverine, and is currently seen in two major TV series — as series regular “Dr. Alex Park” in ABC’s “The Good Doctor” (Season 3 currently airing Monday nights) and living multiple lives as ‘Takeshi Kovacs’ on Netflix’s “Altered Carbon” (Season 2 just released on February 27th).

Lee has consistently churned out brilliant work, creating and trailblazing roles for the Asian community in some of the best and most exciting film and TV projects of our time, solidifying himself as a leading man in diverse representation in Hollywood.

On television, Lee can be seen as ‘Takeshi Kovacs’ on Netflix’s original series “Altered Carbon,” opposite Joel Kinnaman (season 1) and Anthony Mackie (season 2). Based on the cyberpunk noir novel of the same name by Richard K. Morgan, the series is set more than 300 years into the future and follows the journey of a prisoner returning to life in a new body, compelled to solve a mind-bending murder in order to obtain his freedom. Viewers this season were shocked to see a surprising duel between Kovacs vs. Kovacs! Takeshi Kovacs, initially debuted by Will Yun Lee in the first season, not only finds himself “re-sleeved” into an upgraded body (Anthony Mackie) after Joel Kinnaman but also facing down his original form. Written and produced by AVATAR co-writer Laeta Kalogridis, the show is one of Netflix’s most expensive shows ever (said to cost $6-7 million per episode). Lee also stars as series regular ‘Dr. Alex Park’ on the Golden Globe Award-nominated ABC series “The Good Doctor”. The groundbreaking series follows a young surgeon with autism and Savant syndrome who is recruited into the surgical unit of a prestigious hospital. The series itself is based on the 2013 award-winning South Korean series of the same name, which actor Daniel Dae Kim bought and developed the series for Sony Pictures Television / ABC. Lee’s ‘Dr. Alex Park’ is an ex-cop who decided to become a doctor. With 11.22 million total viewers, the series premiered as the most-watched Monday drama debut on ABC in 21 years. Additionally, with a global audience of 50 million viewers, “The Good Doctor” was named the most-watched drama series in the world at the Monte Carlo TV Festival. Lee previously starred as Taka, one of the leading roles of USA Network’s ongoing series “Falling Water,” directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadilla. The supernatural, drama-mystery centered on three strangers who, after recognizing they were dreaming parts of the same dream, realized that the future of the world lies in their hands. Additional television credits include his role as Sang Min in “Hawaii Five-0”; Kwon in the Cinemax series “Strike Back,” opposite Michelle Yeoh; and Mr. Gus in HBO’s final season of Alan Ball’s “True Blood.”

On the feature side, Lee can be seen in the “Rogue Warfare” trilogy opposite Stephen Lang which follows a group of military elites from the U.S., Russia, UK, China, and France who join forces to fight an underground terrorist network. He will also lend his voice in Sony’s upcoming animated feature film “Wish Dragon” opposite Constance Wu, John Cho, and Jackie Chan which is slated for a 2020 release. Lee was most recently seen as Agent Park in New Line Cinema’s science fiction, monster film, “Rampage,” opposite Dwayne Johnson and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Additional film credits include Dr. Kim Park in Warner Bros.’ blockbuster standout, “San Andreas,” opposite Dwayne Johnson and Paul Giamatti; supporting role as Timothy Cress in “Spy,” starring Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law, Rose Byrne, and Bobby Cannavale; Harada in Twentieth Century Fox’s “The Wolverine,” opposite Hugh Jackman; Captain Cho in FilmNation’s “Red Dawn,” opposite Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson; and Marek in Colombia Pictures’ “Total Recall,” opposite Colin Farrell.

Lee is a Master in Taekwondo (5th degree Black Belt), following in the footsteps of his very influential father, who is a Taekwondo Grandmaster. Receiving a full athletic scholarship and majoring in political science and ethnic studies, Lee graduated from the University of California Berkeley.
