Choi Min Shik is a South Korean actor. He is best known for his critically acclaimed role in "Oldboy". Together with Song Kang Ho and Sol Kyung Gu, he is considered both domestically and on the global scene as among the very top echelon of South Korean actors in terms of presence and talent. When he was in third grade, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and told by his doctor that there was nothing that could be done for him. Refusing to give up, he eventually restored his health through an extended stay in the mountains.

After graduating with a degree in Theatre from Dongguk University, Choi Min Shik first made a name for himself on the stage before breaking into the film world with roles in the early film "Kuro Arirang" and the acclaimed "Our Twisted Hero". Edit Biography
