Steven was born in Korea. He and his family moved to the United States, to the state of Michigan - just like his character Glenn in the AMC hit TV series The Walking Dead.
He was born in Korea; but grew up in Troy, Michigan. Troy is a suburb of Detroit.
Became a father for the 1st time at age 33 when his wife gave birth to their son on March 17, 2017.
If you work in Chicago in the improv scene, anyone is happy for you if,you get a job.
I am a huge Pistons fan. Those were some of my best times in college,watching the Detroit Pistons.
What brought me to L. A. was work! I moved to Chicago after college - I,went to Kalamazoo - did my nerd thing, graduated, and moved to Chicago,to pursue improv.
I was a psych major in college and I actually owned two white lab rats.
I grew up in Michigan, so I played hockey, football and basketball. I,played a little bit of lacrosse, too. My brother played more lacrosse,and ran track.
I believe that we are still hovering around the realm of Asians playing,all types of Asians. I do not see that changing any time soon just,because there is a limited pool of Asian actors.
People think that Detroit is this barren wasteland. While there are,parts that are not as nice as others, the misconception is not true. It,is definitely not a thriving community in Detroit, but it is getting,there. There is a lot of heart and love in this city.
Many people, not just Asians, are more concerned with hustling and,getting to meetings with contacts to gain success.
