Daniel Henney rose to fame appearing in <My Lovely Sam-soon>, which generated high viewership ratings from its first episode to the final. If anyone is going to describe him, one word would best fit him – gentleness. This natural born gentleman grasps the hearts of the ladies who are getting tired of being around the bunch of macho dudes. His refined manner is inherited from his American father of British descent. His Korean is not perfect but it was a smart role choice when he had 100% use of his image playing the perfect gentleman from the US in the romantic comedy film <Seducing Mr. Perfect>. He portrayed the irony encountered by James Parker, the adoptee, who cannot even talk to his biological father ([KIM Young-chul]) without interpretation in <My Father>. It seems there is no other actor than Daniel Henney who fits perfect to the role. The language issue irritated him while he was shooting in Korea, but he took the advantage of being a native English speaker when he played in the American movie <X-men Origins>. Henney earned favorable response for his <Agent Zero>, an expert tracker. He stayed in Hollywood for his next role, though it was the English-language debut from Korean filmmaker KIM Jee-woon, <The Last Stand> (2013). That same year he appeared in the Korean action-comedy blockbuster <The Spy: Undercover Operation>.Less
