ROBERT RYU

I always wondered if I was good enough for this industry, great enough to maintain work, or talented enough to be the greatest in town. I consider myself lucky to be pursuing such a creative career at this time and age where I have the freedom to explore out of the box and not be a jack~ ass. I realize it takes more than nepotism for me to bank on a big break from uncle Wong or other family members who don’t exist, nor work in show biz and major studios like Sony, Paramount, Fox, WB, etc. cause I wasn’t born into Hollywood legacy. But I did inherit a face and I hope to be pleasing to your eyes. I do what I can.

As in any profession, I dress to impress. Don’t drink, don’t smoke, and take vitamins cause once your looks start to fade, so does the way you feel about yourself. With that said, I am striving to be healthier by working out, eating better, and running, walking, or skipping.

In order to build a strong character for myself it is important for me to develop a personality that projects love and shines confidently with genuine excitement, energy, and enthusiasm that people can feel when I am there. So I have been spending a good amount of my time training around mentors and people of character with chops to make it to the top. I find myself passionately praying for sustainment and strength that endures and perseveres in this crazy world of fakers, freaks and facades. I hope with all the up coming interviews and auditions, that people will get a glimpse of this.

It is a humbling experience moving to L.A. this summer and my support network (family & friends) has helped me tremendously to survive another season. Still building my network of friends and learning the values of friendship. This network is not only crucial to my life but extremely encouraging at various points when I am down or need advice. They are honest, trustworthy, real, and positive influences in my life. Thanks guys for believing in me! :]

While working on The Green Hornet, I met amazing talents — one by the name of Yoshio Iizuka. He is Kato’s stunt double, and is extremely talented and a veteran in the game. He was also the stunt double for Fat Bastard, and the green Power Ranger. He can kick some butt. haha

When Nokia China wanted to launch their new Nokia N96 Bruce Lee Edition, they released a series of these sick “vintage” clips featuring Bruce Lee playing ping pong, using his nunchakus as paddles.  These commercials are obviously CGI masterpieces, but there are still rumors that this some new and recent footage. The phone has Bruce Lee’s face and signature on the back case, and it’s packed with rare photos of the legendary actor. It even comes with a Bruce Lee doll!!

Thanks for being a fan, Bill!

Samuel French is L.A.’s biggest theater and movie bookstore. I was able to browse through a great selection of film books, plays, and scripts from Hollywood blockbusters, which broadened my knowledge about being on-screen. This will definitely be a place I will be visiting more often.

Using only narration and text, this inspiring video uses a clever trick to make its point about being alive in this generation.
