Lee Sung-jae in a short period rose to become
one of the more versatile and popular actors in Korean cinema. After working
for a time on TV (his debut was the MBC drama The Love of Two Women), he
launched his film career with the romantic comedy Art Museum by the Zoo
opposite superstar Shim Eun-ha. The success of this movie gave him considerable
attention and led to him being offered many more roles.
After starring in Ghost in Love opposite Kim
Hee-sun, Lee rose to prominence as the leader of a small group of thugs in one
of the biggest box-office hits of the late 1990s, Kim Sang-jin's smash comedy
Attack the Gas Station. Shortly thereafter he took a role in a very different
kind of film, the accomplished black comedy Barking Dogs Never Bite, and his
portrayal of a dog-hating lecturer who desperately wants to become a professor
received good reviews.
In 2001, Lee acted opposite Ko So-young in A
Day, a drama about a young married couple who wish to have a baby; he then
appeared alongside Cha Seung-won and Kim Hye-soo in Kick the Moon, another
wildly popular comedy by Kim Sang-jin. Lee also had a memorable turn as the
villain in Public Enemy, a hugely successful film by hit director and Cinema
Service founder Kang Woo-suk.
In 2004 Lee portrayed a mountain climber in
the big-budget adventure/melodrama Ice Rain, which was shot in the Canadian
Rockies, then played a ballroom dancer in Dance with the Wind, Park Jeong-woo's
directorial debut (Park wrote the screenplay for many of Kim Sang-jin's
films). Other notable roles include real-life fugitive Ji Kang Hun in 2006's
Holiday, and a sculptor in 2010 3D erotic film Natalie.
Among the television series he's starred in
include 2008 romantic comedy Lawyers of the Great Republic of Korea, and
2012 hit cable drama A Wife's Credentials.
