50 | !!Tropes |
51 | * AdoredByTheNetwork: Several of his post-''Series/{{The Walking Dead|2010}}'' works are all from Creator/{{Netflix}}. |
52 | * PromotedFanboy: He was a fan of ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'' comics way before he was cast in the LiveActionAdaptation. |
53 | * StarMakingRole: |
54 | ** He was part of the cast of the phenomenally popular TV show, ''Series/{{The Walking Dead|2010}}'', and was one of its longest running cast members to boot. |
55 | ** When it comes to voice acting, it's [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Avatar Wan]]. |
56 | * StopBeingStereotypical: On a 2019 ''Wired Auto-Complete'' interview for ''Film/SorryToBotherYou'', he mentions that getting mistaken for playing most Asian roles on television is a problem for him when his search bar lists his perceived filmography roles, including a question about if he starred in the Indiana Jones films.[[note]]Though the user asked if Yeun starred in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'', the correct film was ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom''-- both of which he didn't. The question was whether or not he played Short Round, whose actor was actually Creator/KeHuyQuan.[[/note]] |
57 | * TomHanksSyndrome: Due to [[ZombieApocalypse the nature]] of [[Series/{{The Walking Dead|2010}} his breakout role]], one would probably be surprised to learn that his main training is for comedy. That said, his character had his fair share of funny moments. |
