James Kyson Lee (born December 13, 1975) is a Korean American actor best known for his role of Ando Masahashi on the NBC television series Heroes.

Lee was born in Seoul, South Korea. His middle name, Kyson, Anglicized version of his Korean name, means "Child of the Spirit." Lee moved with his family to New York City at the age of 10, where he later attended the Bronx High School of Science. He studied communications at Boston University and the New England Institute of the Art, where he also began performing in music, dance, and improvisational comedy.

In the summer of 2001, he moved to Los Angeles. There he began training in jazz singing, musical theater, and acting.

He performed improv and sketch comedy at Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles.

In his first-ever television audition, he landed a guest-starring role on the CBS television drama JAG and has been a working actor ever since.

Lee appeared at the Miss Universe competition held in Mexico City (where he was incorrectly introduced as a Japanese American). His question to a contestant—who was coincidentally Miss Korea 2007 Honey Lee—was "If you had a superpower, what would it be and why?"
