Ken Leung Biography

Kenneth Ken Leung was born in New York City and initially raised in the Two Bridges section of the Lower East Side of Manhattan. His family moved to Midwood Brooklyn where he grew up before finishing high school in Old Bridge New Jersey
Leung later attended New York University (NYU) as a University Scholar and discovered acting in his junior year when he studied acting with Catherine Russell and Nan Smithner and then briefly with Anne Jackson at HB Studio.
During this time he acted mostly in downtown spaces and black box theaters working with groups such as the Ma-Yi Theater Company New Perspectives and STAR a traveling group of actors-educators based in Mount Sinai Hospital.
In 1997 Leung made his debut in Brett Ratner's Rush Hour. Ratner stated [Ken]'s a great actor. In my opinion he's equivalent to Philip Seymour Hoffman as far as talent is concerned.
He would later work with Ratner in the films Red Dragon The Family Man and X-Men: The Last Stand. Edward Norton cast him in his directorial debut Keeping the Faith in 2000. Since then Leung has appeared in several independent and television films as well as features including four films with Brett Ratner and two with Spike Lee.
