Daniel has already earned his way to where he is today. He has worked very hard as an American (English is his first language) and asimilate into Korea and learn Korean. True he did start off as a model and actor in commercials, but he has become so much more than that. Hi role in My Father has won him the award of Best New Actor in Korea and he deserved it. Hold on America, the Daniel Henney wave has begun! Right on Allen at #43. Daniel has already earned his way to where he is today.

Especially "Lana" is it? haha. First of all Daniel "DOES" have acting ability. There is no way in Hell that Fox would gamble on someone that couldn't at least hold his own on a movie with a budget like Wolverine. Regardless of what haters may say....you can't sweep the top 3 award shows for best new actor in Korea this last year for "My Father" like Henney did, without some acting chops. He may have been wooden at times, but I'd like to see others attempt to react to another language that they're just beginning to understand....it must be a nightmare for an actor's timing. "My Father" was the reason for him being casted in the role. So, I definitely look forward to this, and the surprises that his role may bring. And as far as Rick Yune being better looking than daniel? I don't recall Mr. Yune walking the catwalk for Gucci, YSL, Armani, Cavalli, Ferragamo, and Kenneth Cole......Do YOU?? Rick is typical Korean, Daniel is both worlds in one. Interesting guys, interesting. Especially “Lana” is it? haha. First of all Daniel “DOES” have acting ability.

And that other guy who sold out a small theatre inside Madison Square Garden amid claims that he had sold out the Garden itself? Whatever happened to him? But of course Daniel Henney is not Korean but a hyphenized American which gives him a great edge. It makes him relevent because, let's face it, Koreans are the most irrelevent people in the world. So I wish you well, Daniel, and hope that you do achieve stardom. And if you do, I hope some Koreans will sit up and take note, and suddently realize that you can't become relevent without first losing the Korean attitude.

Probably not far enough, but neither has Korea (yes, Korea. It's of concern to me since I live here...besides, I'm not American.) “Regarding race and relations, sometimes I wonder how far the U.S. has really come.”

For that, the Korean Wave deserves some credit." Well, I wouldn't be so fast to see this as a success of the Korean Wave if I were you. Casting him in that movie is a good way to make sure that it will sell tickets in Korea, isn't it? “He’s an American star in Korea who was noticed by Hollywood because he’s in Korean dramas that have been popular in much of East Asia and a little bit in the US.

It would be hard to make because there are few taboos or any novelty to interracial relations like there was in many quarters of the US in 1959. I'm not a "Henney hater", but I am suspicious about anyone that Korean newspapers annoint as the next big star. Aren't some of us here inflating him considerably, when we trot out the James Shigeta, Rick Yune or Daniel Dae Kim comparisons? They are real-deal actors of proven talent and merit. I wish him well, but Henney strikes me as a model/pinup who has lucked out in Korea, where after all, Djamilya has become a household name. “The fact that that type of plot would be hard to make into a film today, almost 50 years into the freak’in future…!”

Regarding race and relations, sometimes I wonder how far the U.S. has really come.

What a great presentable voice. How ironic that those older films were actually more progressive than the stereotypical crap we have nowadays. I also had no idea that he played Takagi, the executive at the Nakatomi building in "Die Hard". Who is Daniel Henney again?
