John Cho was born in 1972 in Seoul to a priest. The father often told little John that money was not the most important thing in life, that it was more important to be useful to people, and the boy tried to follow parental advice. John wanted to be an artist since he was a kid, and moving his family to Los Angeles helped him realize his dream. He graduated from the Herbert High School of Arts and the University of California with a degree in languages and literature. He was soon invited to a theater company. He was engaged in many performances, but was skeptical of his success. He thought he didn’t work well, that he didn’t work well. And therefore often stayed in the theater to rehearse alone late.
After university, John Che worked as an English teacher at school for a while. He enjoyed working with children and often used his acting skills, which young audiences took with pleasure. But John was still attracted by an unrealized dream - to become a real actor. He stubbornly went to the castings and achieved his goal – he was invited to star in the TV series “Happiness”, and then in the film “American Beauty”. For some time, John Cho was the lead singer of the rock band Left of Zed.
After episodic roles went and quite serious in the tapes “American Pie” and “In good company”. And in the youth comedy Harold and Kumar, he played the main role - Harold Lee, and this brought him fame.
Directing work also attracted John Cho, and once he had the opportunity to “try on” the duties of director. Together with the actors who played in American Pie, he directed a situational comedy, which he directed.
But the biggest success came to the actor in the series “Star Trek”. The series quickly gained popularity among the audience and received good reviews from film critics. /
