He played the role of Ronnie in Disturbia, a thriller heavily inspired by Alfred Hitchcock, where he starred alongside Shia LaBeouf. That performance really put him on the map, and since then, he’s built an impressive film resume. He was part of the ensemble cast in the 2008 hit 21, which followed a group of MIT students taking on Las Vegas, and later appeared in the 2010 reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street. Before all the fame and red carpets, he actually got his start with a guest appearance on Law & Order—a small but meaningful step in his journey. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania, balancing academics with early acting gigs. Growing up, he was raised near East Brunswick Township, New Jersey, by his supportive Korean parents, who instilled strong values in him. Family has always been important to him; he shares a close bond with his two siblings—an older sister and a younger brother—who’ve been part of his life through every stage. He’s come a long way from those early days, and now, he continues to make his mark in Hollywood, one role at a time.
He took on the character of Peter Jung in the film 10 Years, and really brought the role to life with his performance. It was one of those moments where you could see Peter Jung’s complexity unfold through subtle expressions and quiet intensity. He portrayed Peter Jung with such depth that the character stayed with viewers long after the movie ended. In many ways, Peter Jung became a standout part of the story, thanks to his nuanced acting.
