The Artist

 

My Bio

Jinn graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Business Administration in 1990. Upon completion, he drove across the country to study Acting and Theater in New York. In 1995, he auditioned and was accepted into LAByrinth Theater Company. In the subsequent years, he was elected as the first official President of the company, where he helped lay the foundation for its current growth and success. He also became involved with Developing Artists, a theater school and company for young adults and The Lobby, a community of poets, musicians and artists that perform and inspire each other in a BI-weekly event. He produced 3 LAByrinth productions: WHERE'S MY MONEY? by John Patrick Shanley, CULTURE BANDIT & DARWAZA by Vanessa Hidary & Ajay Naidu and OUR LADY OF 121ST STREET by Stephen Adly Guirgis. WHERE'S MY MONEY? and OUR LADY continued its run Off-Broadway and CULTURE BANDIT & DARWAZA can be seen playing at various venues across the country.

 

As an actor for LAByrinth, he appeared in QUEEN LATINA & THE POWER POSSE VS THE EVILS OF SOCIETY by David Anzuelo, RACE, RELIGION & POLITICS by Stephen Adly Guirgis (co-starring Philip Seymour Hoffman), DREAMING IN TONGUES written by the cast, A WINTER PARTY by John Patrick Shanley and THE FAIRY TALE PROJECT written by Webb Wilcoxen and directed by Jill DeArmon at the Public Theatre.

 

At the close of 2002, he left his position at LAByrinth to start A Bow & 3 Arrows with co-founders Ernesto Solo and Maurice Wingfield and to focus his attention on Developing Artists.

My history
I was born in Seoul, South Korea (it's really one Korea, but that's another story).  I came to the states when I was a wee lad of ripe 7 years old.  I thought we came to the states because my parents wanted my sisters and I to have better opportunities.  That was only partly true.  I'll learn much later in life that it was really a fresh start for my parents.  But more on that later too...

Testimonials
Jinn is the bestest man boy who ever existed.  He's also the greatest actor of his generation...says his Mom.
