Kang started pursuing a career in acting in 1999, and landed his first major film role three years later in the crime-drama “Better Luck Tomorrow”. In which he played the aloof gang member Han, and which earned him a bit of recognition. He then starred in “The Motel” as Sam King, and was cast in a recurring role in “The Fast and the Furious” film franchise. His first film of the series was “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift”, and this would lead to his appearance in the next films including “Fast & Furious”, “Fast Five”, and “Fast & Furious 6”. Aside from these, he also appeared in “War” which stars Jet Li and he then starred in “Forbidden Warrior” as the son of Genghis Khan.

It has been reported that Sung is very interested in the drifting culture of Japan, becoming involved with it when he was cast for the film “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift”. Prior to becoming part of that film franchise, he was worried that he might not get a good role in Hollywood due to stereotypes created among Asian-American actors.

Min Sung Kang Quotes

  • A lot of times, you do independent films for passion because you may even lose money doing one, but it doesn’t matter.
  • I’ve produced before, and sometimes it’s by default. In the indie level, you can’t just come to set and be like, ‘Oh, I’m an actor.’ You have to be willing to help out, make the project happen.
  • Because of economics, you have to feed the demographics that are buying your product. So, as Asia becomes a much more economic influence on the products that are being made from America, I think people have to be sensitive.
  • Prior to ‘Tokyo Drift,’ the iconic perception of Asians in Hollywood films has been either the Kung Fu guy, the Yakuza guy or some technical genius. It used to be such a joke, to be laughed at rather than with.
  • I think when we shot ‘Tokyo Drift’ I was a little too young to really understand what made Han who he is, and then I got older, and you start to make a little bit of money, and you realize that money will never buy you happiness.
  • The more projects you do, the more actors you meet, the more people you meet, it’s harder and harder to give your heart and your complete attention or absolute sincerity to that person.
  • I’ve actually started to drive slower. I never want to see a news headline that reads, ‘The Chinese Guy from ‘Fast & Furious’ Pulled Over for a Speeding Ticket.’
  • On a studio film, you don’t have to worry about running out of film or messing up your costumes; you have five other sets of it. Studio films make you the most comfortable so you can just act.
  • It’s always on everyone’s list, like, ‘What’s New Orleans like?’ I think people have a pre-conceived idea, like it’s just Mardi Gras and Bourbon Street. But really, there’s so much culture, the music’s great, the food’s great. It’s not good for the waistline! But I’m actually from the South, I’m from Georgia, so the weather doesn’t bother me.
  • 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.
  • 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?’
  • Sometimes idealism and all that make believe makes the world a better place.
  • 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?
  • My belief system is that you laugh at racism, and that’s how it goes away.
