Joo Jin-mo (born August 11, 1975) began his acting career in TV dramas and some minor
roles in film.
He was first cast as a lead in Dance Dance (1999), Korea's only dance film,
for which he underwent extensive dance training.
Although the film itself did not perform well, it leant Joo some publicity before he broke through with the box-office and critical hit Happy End.
His role as a spurned lover in this psycho-drama attracted considerable notice in Korea,
and the film itself also traveled to Hong Kong.
After taking the lead in Kim Ki-duk's mildly experimental Real Fiction
(which was shot in 3 1/2 hours without any retakes),
Joo took a major role in the much-hyped Musa,
set in 14th century China and starring Zhang Ziyi from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
He also acted in Wanee and Junah, a melodrama about a screenwriter and an animator
opposite popular actress Kim Hee-sun.
In 2003 he was rumored to take the lead role in an action blockbuster from Sidus Pictures,
and also in the latest film by veteran director Park Kwang-su, but both films were then
cancelled due to a lack of financing.
Joo's return to the screen came in spring 2004, in the comedy Liar
based on the play Run For Your Wife by Ray Cooney.
