Largest American Agency Calls Lee Byung-heon Asian James Dean

Hallyu star Lee Byung-heon is set to make inroads into Hollywood. Recently, the largest U.S. talent agency, CAA, has praised the actor for his role in the movie A Bittersweet Life, calling him the Asian James Dean."

Hwang Jung-wook, CEO of the local agency, Web, said in an interview on June 15 that Lee, who is managed by Player Entertainment, will advance into the Hollywood market in full gear after one year of preparatory positioning. Unlike other Asian actors, he will not play sinister or comic roles in Hollywood, but will establish his presence there in a completely different way," said Hwang.

Hwang said the actor had already laid a solid foundation for advancing into Hollywood back in May at Cannes when he met with CAA representatives. Next week, some 400 CAA agents will watch A Bittersweet Life, said Hwang.

CAA is the largest Hollywood agency, managing high-caliber stars such as Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Hugh Grant, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman, as well as famous movie directors like Stephen Spielberg and Jerry Bruckheimer.

According to Hwang, a CAA agent named Jenny Rollings was impressed by A Bittersweet Life when she visited Cannes, France during the latest film festival. At a conference that was held the following day which was attended by Lee and Web representatives, Rollings said Lee had enough potential to make a successful debut in Hollywood, and called him the Asian James Dean."

littlestream SG

Wow! The pix with the shades look awesome!!! Embarassed

miss_soojung SG

Couldn't agree more ... probably why eemtij wants to smack him around Mr. Green

IMO he's in his element when he's acting a man in love!

littlestream SG

Pai seh, actually don't know him leh. I think I've admitted not watching Korean dramas (can't cope with TVB/ATV and others ley) but he sure look gorgeous. Someone nice to have beside, I'll say. Wink

miss_soojung SG

Hey, don't have to follow Kdramas to appreciate beauty Smile

But I must say, if a man looks at me the way he looks at the co-stars he acts with, I'd be instant mush Embarassed

littlestream SG

True. Wink

That's why I visit this haven to get "education". Laughing

katelim SG

hehehe another korean hunk on the list!!!

he's pretty short right? anyway... i always think he looks very cool and suave in shades!

miss_soojung SG

1.78 not short lah ... but of course compared to Rain's 1.84 (?) ... Confused

A friend of mine watched bits of Stairway To Heaven, saw Kwon Sang-woo next to Choi Ji-woo and called him "shorty"! I kept trying to explain to him that the actress is lanky and tall but it just didn't sink in. So now, he can't remember Korean names to save his life, he refers to poor KSW as "the short guy"!! Sad Laughing

eemtij SG

As I have said before : I am fat therefore I am gross and ugly

No need to punch. Face already Lan-gar already.

eemtij SG

This is cool...... Mr. Green

miss_soojung SG

Oi ... Shocked Evil or Very Mad Confused

Come to think of it ... yeah, quite cool Laughing

miss_soojung SG

Being fat doesn't ultimately mean it makes a person gross and ugly ... can also be cuddly and cute Wink

But what's "lan-gar"?

littlestream SG

Yikes........no.....no......no..........NO moustache nor beard for me!!!! Sad Laughing

eemtij SG

Lan-gar chia (car accident)
Tio Lan-gar (kenna knocked or accident)

katelim SG

yah choi ji woo is damn tall for a lady leh! heheheh.. i heard she is ard 1.76 liek that... thats why she and lee byung hun stand tog like same height like that.. u watched Everybody has secrets?
