Prolific actor LIM Won-hee made waves as part of the popular Mokhwa theater group on Daehak-ro (the Korean broadway). He debuted on the screen in <The Happenings> (1998), an early film from comedy maestro JANG Jin. His intense focus and bumbling wit has made him a hit with casting directors ever since, turning him into one of the most visible supporting actors of the Korean film industry.

Able to slide into just about any part, though often favoring comedy roles, LIM is a mainstay of Korean cinema who grew just as the industry was in the midst of its renaissance. Over the years he has acted in numerous JANG Jing productions, such as <The Spy> (1999), <Guns and Talk> (2001), <The Quiz Show Scandal> (2010) and <Romantic Heaven> (2011), and has also forged a lasting relationship with action filmmaker RYOO Seung-wan, beginning with <Die Bad> (2000), and stretching to <No Blood No Tears> (2002), <Crying Fist> (2005) and most importantly the slapstick spy title <Dachimawa Lee> (2008), which afforded the performer his first sole leading role in a motion picture. Away from comedy, he has also appeared in KANG Woo-suk’s macho thriller <Silmido> (2003), LEE Myung-se’s artsy noir <M> (2007) and the uplifting sports drama <A Barefoot Dream> (2010). More recently, he has appeared in KIM Sang-jin’s road trip comedy <Three Summer Night>, the legal thriller <The Advocate: Missing Body> and the KIM Yong-hwa’s blockbuster fantasy drama <With God>.Less
