Kenzo Lee
Kenzo Lee’s got one of those faces you keep spotting everywhere, from “Modern Family” to “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” and honestly, the dude’s credits go on longer than my grocery list. Born and raised in the Bay Area, he’s got both Japanese and Chinese roots, which, honestly, just ups his cool factor. The arts are basically in his blood—his dad’s out there winning awards with his art, and his grandmother? Opera singer. No big deal, right? That’s the kind of dinner table where you can’t just hum off-key without catching some heat.
He didn’t just roll into Hollywood on a whim, either—Kenzo actually put in the work, graduating from UC San Diego and spending time at the British American Drama Academy. So yeah, there’s some serious training under all that charisma. He’s not just about acting, though; he’s been giving back as a coach for NBC Launch’s Diversity Program with East West Players in L.A., which, let’s be real, is pretty rad in an industry that needs all the diversity help it can get.
You might’ve caught him online too—he’s been in shows like “Sorry for Your Loss” and “The Online Gamer.” Basically, he’s everywhere: sitcoms, dramas, web series, and even indie flicks like “A Leading Man.” If there’s a genre he hasn’t tried, I’d be genuinely surprised. The guy’s just out there, hustling, repping his heritage, and making it look way too easy.
