Sung Kang

The Korean-born American actor rose to fame after a series of sequels to Fast and Furious, in which he played a desperate street racer Khan. Also known for major roles in action films "Die Hard 4.0" and "The Expendables", where he played with such Hollywood masters as Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone. According to Kahn, he came to the cinema to embody a new image of an Asian actor, not owning kung fu, but able to play feelings.

Son Kang was born on April 8, 1972, in Gainesville, Georgia. The parents of the future actor immigrated to America from South Korea.

Kahn's childhood and youth were spent in California. Even at school, where facial artists came from time to time with performances, he was fascinated by dramatic art. The little boy wondered how an actor could influence other people's emotions - make him laugh or, conversely, get angry. Then he seriously wanted to become a mime.

After college, Kahn enrolled at the University of California, Riverside to study law, but there finally decided to continue his education in acting. By this decision, the young man upset parents who did not see their future son in American cinema and TV because of the absence of Asian faces in them.

However, it was too late to retreat. Kahn came to Los Angeles, found mentors, took a job in courses, began to attend castings. He did not know martial arts, so he avoided such roles, and others had to wait for months. Then he moonlighted as a waiter to pay the bills. Sleep spent five difficult years before he managed to shine in the Hollywood sky.

Sung Kahn opens his acting biography in the early 90s. The first tiny role played in the series "HBO: First Look." Then there were episodes in various TV projects.

The actor has been involved in major projects since filming Mysterious People in 1999. Although the role is insignificant, the aspiring actor works on the same set with such stars as Ben Stiller, William H. Macy and Jeffrey Rush.

Actor's luck brings Kana acquaintance with the director Justin Lin. In 2002, he claimed to be the guy in the low-budget drama "Tomorrow Will Be More." Song played Han Hu , a cousin of the main character, a bright representative of the "major" Asian youth living in America.

After the success of the film at the Sundance Film Festival, the director received many lucrative offers and soon took up the project of the film "Triple Fast and The Force: Tokyo Drift". The role of Han Soul-O was originally written for an African-American actor. But the director persuaded Kahn to appear to the producers, and they in turn persuaded to give the role to an Asian actor.

"Tokyo Drift" made Kahn a real star. Fees at the box office in English and Japanese amounted to more than $158 million. Now the actor receives offers to participate in major film projects.

Thus, in 2007 he participates in two high-budget films - "Die Hard 4.0" (2007) and "War" (2007). Stars such as Bruce Willis, Jet Lee and Jason Statham appeared on the set.

The success of "Tokyo Drift" was so resounding that Justin Lin takes on the release of prequels - a series of films describing the events before "Tokyo Drift" because in this picture Han Soul-O dies fleeing the chase.

To the delight of fans, Son Kang appears in four more parts of the franchise: Fast and Furious 4, Fast and Furious 6, and Fast and Furious 7, with stars such as Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Gal Gadot and Paul Walker.

Akin to the spiritual over the years, Kahn and director Justin Lin. Together they have gone from a film, which was taken with funds from a credit card ("Tomorrow will be more) to huge studio projects.

Also in the filmography of the actor there are works with such masters of directing as Walter Hill and Chris Morgan. The first was directed by Son Kahn and Sylvester Stallone in the lead roles in the action film "The Expendables" (2012). And with Morgan, the actor collaborated in the TV project "Criminal Connections" (2014).

In 2015, Kahn tried his hand at comedy, starring in Hollywood Adventures. In 2017, the actor became the owner of a fortune of $8 million. He also has experience in producing: "Talk to Taka" (2000) and "Cancel" (2006).

For a long time, the actor remained a bachelor, eluding questions about his personal life. There were even rumors about his non-standard orientation, but no paparazzi could provide a supporting photofact. In fact, marrying in youth would be an unaffordable luxury, the artist later admitted. His formation as an actor was difficult, frequent moves were tiring.

But in 2014, Son finally decided to settle down, and on July 8, the wedding took place with Miki Yim. His wife is a designer, but for many years she was the owner of the restaurant "Saketini" in Brentwood. Kahn helped his wife in restaurant activities, but then realized that this occupation is not to his liking. There is no information on whether the couple has children.

The star is fond of sports: he likes to play golf and basketball. In addition, the actor's Instagram speaks about another hobby - rare cars. The most famous treasure in his collection is the Datsun 240. Sleep participates in the program for the restoration of retro cars.

In 2018, the series "Private Detective Magnum" was released, where Kahn played one of the main roles.
