Ken Jeong
American-born South Korean actor, producer, writer, stand-up comedian, and medical practitioner Ken Jeong is also known by his birth name, Kendrick Kang-Joh Jeong. He rose to fame as the title character of the Emmy-winning American multi-camera sitcom "Dr. Ken," and again as "Ben Chang" on the comedy-drama series "Community."
Early Life
Ken Jeong's parents emigrated to the United States from South Korea, and he was born there. Jeong went to high school in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he participated in the symphony, made the Quiz Bowl team, and was elected to the student council. He had already accomplished so much by the time he was 16 that he was named Greensboro's Youth of the Year. Jeong got his bachelor's degree from Duke University in 1990 and his M.D. from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill in 1995.
Career
Ken's first job was as an intern at the Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans. He worked on his stand-up comedy routines at the same time. Then he moved to California and got a license to work as a doctor; instead, he became a comedian there.
In 1995, Ken took part in the "Big Easy Laff-off." The judges liked his skills so much that they told him to move to Los Angeles. After this win, Ken often went to the Improv and the Laugh Factory comedy clubs because he felt good about himself. After moving to Los Angeles to make a name for himself in the comedy industry, he found work at Kaiser Permanente.
In 1997, he did his first acting job as a guest star on the crime drama show "The Big Easy." His roles in the hit sitcom "Two and a Half Men" and the show "Entourage" helped him become even more well-known.
In 2007, he made his first movie, which was directed by Jude Apatow and called "Knocked Up." In the film, he played the part of Dr. Kuni, which was his first big break in Hollywood. Even though Ken only had a small part, he made a big impression with his great comedic timing and unique traits.
In the 2015 sitcom called "Dr. Ken," Ken played the main character. Ken wrote, co-produced, and made the show all by himself. He plays a fictionalized version of himself in the series. Both the critics and the audience didn't like this. After two seasons, the show was canceled.
