One of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People," Will Yun Lee is an emerging talent on the big and small screens. He is an actor with an unusual depth that sets him apart from other rising young Asian American actors. He was seen in Elektra in which he starred as the main villain opposite Jennifer Garner and in the independent film Face directed by Bertha Bay-Sa Pan that premiered in the dramatic competition at Sundance 2002. This was his second consecutive year appearing at Sundance as he is well known for his role as "Jimmy Nguyen" in the critically acclaimed What's Cooking which opened the festival in 2000. Other recent film credits include Warner Bros. Torque and MGM's latest 007 adventure Die Another Day. On the small screen he is well known for his portrayal of "Danny Woo" on TNT's Witchblade. He co-starred in the series opposite Yancy Butler for its two seasons. Born in Arlington, Virginia to parents recently emigrated from Korea, Lee's character was nourished both by the traditional values of his family and the decidedly unspiritual socio-economic climate of the 80's. He was raised by both immediate and extended family and moved often, exposed to life on the tough Bronx streets and idyllic Hawiian beaches. By his teens he was living in the San Francisco area with his father, a Korean Tae Kwan Do grand master. Lee also became an accomplished martial artist, and won an athletic scholarship to the University of California at Berkeley. While in school, Lee worked at the East Bay Asian Youth Center, teaching high-risk teens from ghetto neighborhoods not unlike those he had known as a child in the Bronx. It was there that his ongoing commitment to young people began, a commitment that continues to play an important role in his life. It was also at this time that he became seriously interested in acting, and after landing a role in Nash Bridges, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his career. Guest starring roles in series such as Profiler and Brimstone led to a role in the TV movie The Disciples for UPN, and soon after What's Cooking and Witchblade. At home in Los Angeles, Lee continues to teach martial arts and study acting; drawn to them both because "neither can ever be completely mastered."
