Career

American-made The Cut Runs Deep was an underground hit in South Korea, where McInnis moved to soon after quitting school and achieved noticeable success in the Asian film industry.

After a period of introspection, McInnis returned to the limelight with a leading role in Typhoon, a big-budget South Korean action film.
