[edit] Biography
Daniel Henney was born to an ethnic Korean mother who was adopted in the U.S. and an Anglo-American father. Henney started modeling in the U.S. in 2001 and has worked in France, Italy, Hong Kong and Taiwan. After his debut in South Korea with an advertisement for the Amore Pacific's cosmetic "Odyssey Sunrise", he became a spokesperson for commercials with Jeon Ji-hyun for Olympus cameras and Kim Tae-hee for Klasse air conditioners.[1][2]
Despite speaking very little Korean, Henney became a household name through the South Korean hit TV drama, My Name is Kim Sam Soon. Following his success in Sam Soon, he has continued to work as a professional actor.[3]
In 2009, he portrayed Agent Zero in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In the fall season of 2009, he is playing "Dr. David Lee" in the CBS television drama, "Three Rivers". The medical drama is set in the transplant ward of a fictional Pittsburgh hospital and airs every Sunday at 9PM Eastern/Pacific Time. Promotional posters featuring Henney and co-stars Alex O'Loughlin and Justina Machado have been put up on billboards, buses and metro stations in major cities in the U.S.
