Kenneth Choi was born in Chicago, Illinois. As he grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, Choi dreamed of becoming an actor. Against his family's wishes, Choi left college to pursue that dream. He literally ran away from home, cutting all ties with his family for five years to train and study before moving to Los Angeles.

His dream became a reality as he landed guest appearances in 6 television series during his first year including "The West Wing" and "Roswell". Choi gained recognition as both a comedic and dramatic actor with memorable guest turns on hit sitcoms "The King of Queens", "Reba", "According to Jim" and recurring roles in critically successful dramas such as "House" and "24". In 2008, Choi landed a starring role in the ABC Family series "Samurai Girl" opposite Jamie Chung, as well as recurring arcs in 2009 with Starz's "Crash" and Fox's "Glee", and in 2010 with TNT's "Hawthorne" and FX's critically-acclaimed "Sons Of Anarchy" playing Henry Lin. He is also known for his roles such as Jim Morita in the film "Captain America: The First Avenger" and Chester Ming in Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street." Most recently, Choi has starred in the FX anthology series "American Crime Story: The People vs. OJ Simpson."
