 Daniel Dae Kim Trivia -
  • He holds an M.F.A. from the Graduate Acting program at New York University.
  • Son born in 1996.
  • He has said that playing "Jin" on "Lost" (2004) is a relief to him because he's finally playing someone of his own heritage (Korean), having been cast as characters of almost every other Asian heritage but his own.
  • Due to his childhood in America, he knew very little Korean before he did "Lost" (2004). He has said that his co-star on that show Yunjin Kim, who is fluent in both English and Korean, has been invaluable in coaching him on his Korean, which has apparently improved. Ironically, to the audience's knowledge, Daniel's character knows nothing but Korean.
  • Grew up in Easton, Pennsylvania.
  • Earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Haverford College/Bryn Mawr College in Theatre & Political Science.
  • His acting heroes are Paul Scofield, Gene Hackman, Robert De Niro, Sidney Poitier, Gene Kelly, Denzel Washington, Robert Duvall and, his favorite, Jonathan Pryce.
  • While getting small parts in plays and writing and performing in an improv comedy group, he seriously considered a career in investment banking.
  • He attended Freedom High School in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the same high school as Dwayne Johnson.
  • He was included on People Magazine's list of the sexiest men alive in 2005. Matthew McConaughey topped the list.
  • Arrested in Honolulu on October 25, 2007 for allegedly driving drunk.
     

 Daniel Dae Kim Detailed Biography -

Daniel Dae Kim (born August 4, 1968 in Busan, South Korea) is a Korean American actor. He is best known for playing Jin-Soo Kwon on the television series Lost.

Kim or DDK (as most of his fans call him) was born in South Korea but grew up in Easton, Pennsylvania, in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. Kim is a graduate of Freedom High School in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Haverford College in Haverford Township, Pennsylvania, where he graduated with a dual major in political science and theatre. His theatre major was completed at the neighboring Bryn Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.

Prior to his casting as Jin in Lost, he was probably best known for numerous recurring roles in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. Although his character in Lost speaks mainly in Korean and has almost no ability to speak English, English is actually Daniel's primary language and he is not fluent in Korean. He has been seen in Angel, 24, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, Crusade, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Shield and other shows. He also made guest appearances on Seinfeld, NYPD Blue, and ER. He also had a small part in Spider-Man 2 as a scientist working in Doctor Octavius' laboratory.

Kim was named one of People Magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive" in 2005.

Kim is the voice of the character Johnny Gat in the Xbox 360 game Saints Row. He also provided his voice to 24 the game in which he played his character from the show, Tom Baker.
