She's Chinese. He's Corean ("Korean", to those who prefer the colonial-era rendering). Both are unquestionably American. She's daringly bubbly. He's recklessly intense. What makes them special to many AA minds is that they defied the odds and the unwritten laws of the American media to become the lone bona fide Asian American star couple. Rick Yune was barely one when his family left his native Seoul, Corea for Silver Springs, Maryland. His education has been enviably ivy-covered private schools topped off by a Wharton MBA. Then came a stint as a Wall Street stock trader and modeling for Versace and Polo. He made a memorable film debut in December 1999 as a young Japanese American husband accused of murder in Snow Falling on Cedars . Yune's character walks and gets the girl. A breathless Newsweek profile didn't hurt his career. His intense and classic Asian features add sizzle to

Extractions: With his chiseled physique and handsome features, Rick Yune seemed a natural for working in front of the camera, but his original intention was to pursue a career on Wall Street. Born in Korea and raised in the Washington, DC, area, he was enrolled at Wharton when a modeling agent "discovered" him in the elevator of the financial firm at which he had a summer position. Impressed with Yune's charisma and natural good looks, the agent managed to land the novice model some impressive gigs. Yune became the first Asian-American to appear in campaigns for Versace and Ralph Lauren's Polo. One might have thought that acting would be the inevitable step, but instead the model accepted a position as a stock trader when he graduated in 1994.

Extractions: By Kimberly Chun As you might expect from a former Wall Street stock and futures trader, actor Rick Yune has a very business-like approach to his career. So what if he won the coveted Asian American male lead of the highly anticipated movie version of the international bestseller Snow Falling on Cedars ? So what if Newsweek But Yune is cool and collected about his success: He was simply at the right place at the right time, he mused. Clothing manufacturers discovered Asian Americans as a key demographic around the same time Yune was discovered by a modeling agent while searching for a job at a law office. He eventually returned to trading, but the call of the stage, rather than the catwalk, lured him back before the camera. With a few commercials, the lead in an off-off Broadway production of A Streetcar Named Desire , and a short stint on the NBC soap Another World as an assistant district attorney behind him, Yune found himself on the other side of the bench as Kazuo Miyamoto, a Japanese American on trial for murder, in

Extractions: RICK YUNE Birth Name: Patrick Yun Date of Birth: 1971 Actor Rick Yune would never have guessed he would end up in front of a camera as an actor. Born and raised in the States, Yune grew up in a black neighborhood near D.C. As the only Asian kid on the block, Yune got into a lot of fights. His parents sent him to military school and then to a Roman Catholic school. He got a black belt in tae kwon do and the fights continued. His skill became so refined that at age 19 he qualified for the Olympics. Inspired by his uncle who was the first in his family to attend a prestigious college and become a doctor, Yune went to the University of Pennsylvania. "I went to undergrad at Wharton, and did an internship at Merrill Lynch in New York. At Wharton, everyone wants to be a trader; nobody wants to be a banker. So I went and got a Wall Street Internship where you meet all the firms." Paying for his own way through college, Yune started up his own trading firm. Also considering law school as an option, Yune went to a law office to try and find work. On his way to the interview he was spotted by a modeling agent while in the elevator. The meeting ended up in work and money to pay off his educational fees. The job was also an honor as he became the first Asian male to model for Versace and Polo. Never really interested in a modeling career, Yune returned to school. But the exposure to media did give him a taste of a more 'spur-of-the-moment' lifestyle, and after doing work on a number of commercials, he took professional acting classes and auditioned for small roles in
