Background

David Lee McInnis, the only child of Thomas and Diana McInnis (Sukhyang Lee 이숙향), was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin and grew up in Antigo, Wisconsin and Honolulu, Hawaii. He is of German, Irish and Korean heritage and debuted his acting career in indie crime thriller, The Cut Runs Deep.

Career

American-made The Cut Runs Deep was an underground hit in South Korea, where McInnis moved to soon after quitting school and achieved noticeable success in the Asian film industry. He was the face of SK Telecom's UTO division from 2001 to 2003 while in Korea, and his early Asian film credits include a supporting cast role in A Moment to Remember.

After a period of introspection, McInnis returned to the limelight with a leading role in Typhoon, a big-budget South Korean action film. McInnis went on to star in critically acclaimed US/Korean movie Never Forever, then took on a supporting lead role in Gidam (US release Epitaph), and guest starred in MBC's television series Air City.

Interests and hobbies

McInnis inherited a penchant for antiques from his antique store owner mom and a love for cooking and classic cars from his restaurateur dad, with whom he set up a spice business, McInnis MasterBlend, in 2006.

He practices yoga regularly and enjoys playing basketball, billiards and darts whenever possible.
