Justin Chon

Filmmaker

Justin Chon is the Sundance-winning multi-hyphenate director, writer, and star of GOOK, an incisive and distinctively rare portrayal of the LA riots from a layered Korean American perspective. His directorial debut immediately catapulted him into the upper echelons of indie Asian filmmaking. He is also a series regular on the new ABC crime drama, Deception as well as a star of 21 & Over and the Twilight series. In contrast to many in traditional media, Chon also deftly navigates digital media, co-producing and often starring in several digital series–including being a part of superstar comedian Ryan Higa’s K-pop group, Boys Generally Asian.
