Happy Birthday, SONG Kang-ho

SONG Kang-ho, right, in Thirst

SONG Kang-ho  was born on January 17, 1967 in KyungNam, South Korea. He is almost certainly the South Korean actor best known in the West. He has had notable roles in such great films as Shiri (1999),  J.S.A.: Joint Security Area (2000), Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002),

SONG, second from right, with the cast of The Host

The Host (2006), Secret Sunshine (2007), Thirst (2009), Snowpiercer (2013), and The Face Reader (also 2013).

SONG, right, in Hindsight

He can make even mediocre films more watchable; take Hindsight (2007) for example.

So Happy Birthday, Mr. SONG, and Best ACF Wishes for many, many more.
