Good Morning, Teo


A happy 43 to Past Lives actor Teo Yoo today -- I don't want to understate how incredible I thought his performance in that incredible movie was, but beyond matters of skill I just completely fell in love with him in that movie (although that is a skill, too).  And across last year's awards season, where he should have been nominated for everything. So anyway I'm praying that Hollywood took notice and will put him in some things, is my point. Although I have my doubts they have anything as rich as that role was in store for him -- he'll no doubt have to wade through endless Dr. Scientist roles like most other Asian actors in Hollywood have before him. Somebody write Teo a good role, please! This is a leading man dammit! I have to admit that I took no note of him in Park Chan-wook's wonderful Decision To Leave two years back, though -- I will have to re-watch it now with my newfound love and see if there's anything there. But we have something here! I gathered up a few fine photos of Teo for our birthday morning enjoyment, so hit the jump and enjoy the Teo...
