John Cho

John Cho is sometimes confused with another Korean actor Cho John Sok. But John Cho is older and taller than Cho John (the first is 178 cm tall and the second is 172 cm) and has a more masculine appearance. And the main difference: John Cho - hollywood artist, and his colleague - star of South Korean film and television.

The future actor was born in June 1972 in the family of a South Korean Christian preacher. When his son was 6 years old, his parents took him from the peninsula to the United States, and the name of the child was transformed: from Cho Yu Han the boy became John Johan Cho. After wandering around the cities of America, including Houston and Seattle, the family settled in Los Angeles.

John attended Herbert Hoover School in the same years as actress Eva Mendes, and in 1996 graduated from the University of Berkeley with a Bachelor of Arts degree. In parallel with his studies, the guy worked as a model for Korean magazines - advertised car rental.

As a young man, John taught English to Asians at Pacific Hills School in West Hollywood, a school that was graduated from Monica Lewinsky and Roman Abramovich's ex-wife Dasha Shchukov. In 2018, the school ceased to exist. The young teacher had time to play in the theater and go to castings.

Although the first American film in which John flashed in the episode was "The Dodgers" ("Tail Wags Dog") with a magnificent ensemble of actors (in the satirical comedy played by Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman), the filmography of the Korean has long been dominated by multi-series television tapes.

Cho has appeared in such iconic TV series as "How I Met Your Mother" and "The Charmed," "Dr. House" and "Grey's Anatomy." The guy also played in the American analogue "Don't Be Born Beautiful" - a multi-episode "Durnushka".

Viewers remembered the actor thanks to the "American Pie" franchise, for the third film of which the unnamed character Cho was named, and was named John after the performer. The famous Korean became after the game in the adventure comedy "Harold and Kumar go into isolation." The role of hapless bank employee Harold Lee screenwriter Hayden Schlosberg wrote especially for John, seeing the guy in "American Pie."

Cho does not forget about his origin and fights to ensure that East Asians in Hollywood are given more diverse roles, and not kept in the creative ghetto of the same type of slanting waiters.

In 2002, the actor played in the acute social drama "Tomorrow will be luckier", which tells about a gang of Asian sly students, rejected by society. John also sees his role as a breakthrough in the comedy series "Selfie" - a modern interpretation of "Pygmalion" by Bernard Shaw: for the first time an artist with a Far Eastern appearance played the main character in the American soap opera.

Since 2006, John has been married to Japanese-American actress Kerry Higuchi. The couple have two children: son Cage, born in 2008, and a daughter in 2013. The couple's personal life is not advertised, although the media leaked information that before the birth of his first child Cho was worried whether he could become a good father.

John is the lead singer of Viva La Union, formerly known as Left of zed. The band consists of Berkeley graduates and performs grunge rock. The band's song "Chinese Baby" is on the soundtrack of "Harold and Kumar 2: Escape from Guantanamo", filmed in 2008.

The parenting family remains important to John, with photos with older relatives taking up most of the star's Instagram. The actor dreams of filming the biography of his father - a native of North Korea.

John wanted to open a cafe, but realized that employment will not allow to engage in restaurant business. In the election, Cho supports the Democratic candidates of the United States. In 2006, People magazine recognized the actor as one of the sexiest men in the world.

In 2017 and 2018, John played two characters named Kim. If the first of them - a secondary character of the series "The Exorcist" - a teacher in a camp for difficult teenagers named Andy, the second - David Kim - the main actor in the thriller "Search", produced by Timur Bekmambetov. The brainchild of Anish Chaganthi demonstrated that in the role of a noble father Korean is no less convincing than in the roles of sexually preoccupied young men.

In April 2019, it was announced that Cho would play the role of Spike Spiegel in the game adaptation of the anime series Cowboy Bebop. The futuristic saga takes place in 2071: the Earth is deened, and the surviving earthlings live on other planets of the Solar System. John's character is an unsociable but noble bounty hunter, martial arts master and cybernetic eye owner. The Korean's partner in the film will be a dark-skinned actor Mustafa Shakir, who was cast for the role of Jet Black.
