- Known for playing Han in Fast & Furious.
- Has played the same character, Han, in six movies directed by Justin Lin: Better Luck Tomorrow (2002), The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), Fast & Furious (2009), Fast Five (2011), Fast & Furious 6 (2013), and, evidently, F9: The Fast Saga (2021). The filmmakers have said that Better Luck Tomorrow serves as the character's origin story.
- The Korean-American actor owned a restaurant, Saketini, in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California.
- My belief system is that you laugh at racism, and that's how it goes away.
- When I started acting, I hoped I could make some kind of positive contribution to this world. When I get a letter from some kid in Nebraska saying that, prior to Han, nobody wanted to be his friend because Asians weren't cool if they weren't into martial arts - Now he's accepted and recognized as a human being. That's pretty awesome, right?
- Sometimes idealism and all that make believe makes the world a better place.
- Pre-'Tokyo Drift,' I was like: 'Am I gonna play Yakuza #1 and Chinese Waiter #2 for the rest of my life? Is America even ready for an Asian face that speaks English, that doesn't do Kung Fu?'
- When I did 'Tokyo Drift,' a lot of the philosophy that Han lived by I have actually gone through in my own life. As I got older, I realized that I really believe in those philosophies, like the importance of family.
