About

James Kyson Lee can currently be seen as one of the stars on NBC’s Golden Globe nominated hit drama “Heroes.” On the show James plays ‘Ando Masahashi,’ sidekick and best friend to ‘Hiro’. Traveling from Japan to the states, ‘Ando’ begins his journey as a realist and is soon transformed into a believer, as he comes across supernatural events and begins to claim his place on the mission to save the world.

James was born in Seoul, South Korea, then moved with his family to NYC at the age of 10, where he later attended Bronx H.S. of Science. He studied Communications at Boston University and New England Institute of the Arts, where he also began performing in music, dance, and improv.

In summer of 2001, James sold his used car for $1800, packed one suitcase, purchased a one way ticket, and jetted off to Los Angeles. There he began training in jazz singing, musical theater, and for the first time - acting. In his first ever Television audition, he landed a guest-starring role on CBS’ “J.A.G.”, and since has appeared on NBC’s “Las Vegas”, “The West Wing”, “Heist”, as well as ABC’s “Threat Matrix”, and Fox’s “All About the Andersons”.

In addition to “Heroes,” James will be starring in four feature films in 2007 & 2008, including 20th Century Fox's "Shutter" with Joshua Jackson & Rachel Taylor, "Big Deal" with Treat Williams, Daniel Baldwin, & Charlotte Ross, "Asian Stories:Book 3" opposite Kathy Uyen, and "Big Dreams, Little Tokyo" starring opposite David Boyle.

He will also be starring in the upcoming action-thriller video game: “The Darkness”, for Playstation 3 & Xbox 360.

His middle name, Kyson, comes from the first letters of his parents’ surnames (k & y) and the word “son”. It also means “Child of the Spirit”.

James is also a student of improvisation & sketch comedy, performing at I.O. West and Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles. When he isn’t working, he enjoys playing basketball and the piano, as well as reading biographies, and watching documentaries.

James currently resides in Los Angeles.
