Biography

Seung-ryong Ryu is a South Korean actor. Born in the small village of Seo-choen, he became interested in acting after seeing a play at 15 and studied theater at Seoul Institute of the Arts. After graduating, he spent over a decade as an obscure stage actor, including five years touring with the nonverbal show Nanta. He made his film debut at 34 in a minor role in Someone Special, and his short appearance caught filmmakers' eyes, bringing steady supporting parts. He won critical acclaim for his role as a sensitive gay character in the 2010 drama Personal Taste. His films War of the Arrows (2011), All About My Wife (2012), Masquerade (2012), and Miracle in Cell No. 7 (2013) became blockbuster hits in South Korea.
