#229: Paul Sun-Hyung Lee - Building Each Other Up

Paul Sun-Hyung Lee is a Korean-Canadian award winning actor,
writer and comedian. He is best known as family patriarch ‘Appa’
on the CBC/Netflix hit Kim’s Convenience. Paul received fan
and critical acclaim globally winning four Canadian Screen Awards
in the Leading Comedic Role category as well as a nomination for
the role from the Seoul International Drama Awards. Twice
nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Theatre Award for outstanding
performance and winner of the prestigious Toronto Theatre
Critics' Award for Best Actor. Paul continues to pursue
excellence both onstage and screen. 


As an avid Star Wars fan and collector, Paul was thrilled to join
the universe in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba
Fett and Ahsoka as X-wing fighter ‘Captain Carson
Teva’ for Disney+. Next up, Paul joins the cast of Netflix’s
live action version of Avatar: The Last Airbender as
the beloved ‘Uncle Iroh’.


We chat about his toy collection, rejection, being excellent,
dealing with trolls, lifting others up, imposter syndrome, Kim’s
Convenience, upbringing and leaning into his culture, ‘success’
later in life, play and fun, why being a nerd is cool and of
course failure.


 


The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day
after release)! So check them out on YouTube under Michael
