 Brian Tee plays EMT Eddie Choi, who is caught between the Korean gang world he left behind and the mainstream medical world where he wants to fit in, in “Crash.”
Tee is best known for his starring role as DK, the Drift King, in Universal Pictures’ action-thriller The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, directed by Justin Lin. The third installment in that hit franchise, it was released in 2006 with a $157 million worldwide gross. Afterwards, Tee gave a standout comic performance in Lin’s next film, Finishing the Game: The Search for a New Bruce Lee. He produced and starred in the independent feature Deadland, post-apocalyptic thriller.
Tee has been featured in the Hollywood studio films Fun With Dick and Jane; action-drama We Were Soldiers, opposite Mel Gibson; and action-adventure Austin Powers: Goldmember. He is currently set to star in four US-Asia coproductions: The Wedding Palace (2008); 271 (2009); Hatchet Man (2010); and The Hills (2010).
On television, Tee has guest-starred on the hit shows “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Jericho,” “The Unit,” “Entourage,” “The Pretender,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Monk,” and “Without a Trace.” A Los Angeles native of Korean and Japanese descent, Tee holds a bachelor’s degree in Dramatic Arts from the University of California, Berkeley.
