Actor Daniel Dae Kim stages a fictional demise in the series titled 'Butterfly'
In the world of entertainment, there are moments that truly stand out. Today, one such moment arrives as Korean-American actor and producer Daniel Dae Kim's new series, "Butterfly," premieres on Amazon Prime Video.
This high-octane spy thriller, filmed in Korea, marks a significant step in Kim's career and his commitment to showcasing Asian and Asian-American stories. Known for his breakthrough role as Jin-Soo Kwon in the TV series "Lost" (2004–2010), Kim has been a trailblazer in bringing diverse, culturally authentic narratives to the forefront.
In an interview with Ann Marie Baldonado, Kim delved into his career, his role in "Lost," and the production of "Butterfly" in his hometown in Korea. The conversation touched upon various aspects of his journey, providing a fascinating insight into his passion and dedication to his craft.
"Butterfly" is not Kim's first foray into the world of spy series. His production company, 3AD, focuses on diverse, culturally authentic storytelling, and this new project further solidifies their commitment to this mission.
As a seasoned actor with a 30-year career, Kim has achieved much in his time in the spotlight. He has starred in films like "Spider-Man 2" and "Crash," showcased his taekwondo skills in "American Shaolin" (1992), and played the King of Siam in "The King and I," including the 2016 Broadway production.
Kim's theatre credentials are equally impressive. He received a Tony nomination for his role in the play "Yellow Face," making him the first actor of Asian descent to be nominated for this prestigious award.
As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," it's worth reflecting on the evolution of representation in media. Maureen Corrigan, a book critic, has been doing just that, contemplating the impact and enduring appeal of this classic film.
In the realm of television, the landscape is changing, and Kim's work is a testament to this shift. With "Butterfly" now streaming on Amazon Prime, viewers can witness this change firsthand and join Kim on his journey as he continues to break barriers and redefine what it means to tell a story.
