CAA Signs ‘G.I. Joe’s Lee Byung-Hun

COMMENTS (4)

• Although I do like Lee Byung-Hun (he was fantastic in “I Saw the Devil”), I don’t understand why he deserves this honor when he is:

  1) practically unrecognizable by most non-Korean moviegoers;
  2) receiving the honor in connection with a SUPPORTING ROLE;
  3) recieving the honor in connection with a SEQUEL;
  4) only one in a HUGE pool of asian actors who are more deserving of such an honor?

  The only rationale I can fathom is that, like the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, these cement blocks can be easily purchased by the right marketing machine.

• His performance in ‘A Bittersweet Life’ is nuanced and powerful.

• So Jenny Rawlings rewards her recent WME comrades by sending her client back to the same agency that nudged her out, eh? Sounds about right.
