John Harlan Kim

John Harlan Kim is an Australian actor who grew up in Melbourne, Victoria, and spent his early school years on athletics such as basketball, tennis and Australian rules football before turning to the arts in high school. At 15 he took a free performing class at a nearby acting studio after a friend's urging, and an agent who works with extras spotted him, which led to parts in local television shows. His first audition brought his big break, the role of a young Japanese soldier in The Pacific, the war miniseries from Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. A larger talent agency signed him soon after, and within a week he won the part of Dale McGregor on Neighbors, Australia's longest-running television series, which he played for two years while still at school. He later landed a regular role in The Librarians, a TNT series that followed the network's hit movie trilogy.
