Rick Yune (born August 22, 1971) is a Korean-American actor and older brother of Karl Yune. He was born in Seoul, South Korea, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and recently appeared in the James Bond movie Die Another Day as Zao, a North Korean extremist military officer who hopes to reunify the two Koreas by wiping out the US troops stationed in South Korea. Generally popular among young people of South Korea until then, he became the subject of fierce criticism for his role in the movie, viewed as ignorant of Koreans and humorizing the tense political situation between the two Koreas. He has been romantically linked to Lisa Ling, an American TV journalist. Yune also appeared in The Fast and the Furious and Snow Falling on Cedars.
