A graduate of New York University, Daniel Dae Kim (not to be confused with Daniel Day-Lewis) has been steadily building a successful career as an actor.
On television, he starred in two series of 24 as CTU agent Tom Baker, and on ER as Ken Sung, the social worker for children's services. He has also played attorney Gavin Park on Angel, as well as appearing on numerous shows as a guest star.
His big screen credits include the blockbuster Spider-Man 2 and, most recently, The Cave, a horror/thriller about a pack of divers who become trapped in an underwater cave network.
He continues to pursue a stage career in both Los Angeles and New York, performing anything from the plays of Shakespeare and Becket to improvised comedy.
Recently he optioned the rights to the Leonard Chang novel, Over the Shoulder, a noir thriller. The project is currently in development to become an independent feature.
He was born on 4 August 1968. He admits to enjoying finally playing a Korean character in Lost, having previously been cast as almost every other Asian nationality but his own.
