Gene Soo

I'm a Korean-American actor based in New York City, with roots in theater from an early age. I earned a business degree from Cornell University before fully committing to acting and training in NYC with The Barrow Group, The Second City, and James Ciccone. Since then, I've performed in several Off-Broadway productions and expanded into TV/film and commercial work. Over the past year, I've built momentum with 25+ credits across theater, TV/film, commercial, VO, and live events, while always bringing a grounded and natural presence to every project.

I'm deeply drawn to storytelling as a way to step into other perspectives and continue growing both as a performer and a person. I'm especially interested in exploring nuanced characters and stories that expand and challenge Asian-American representation.

On the commercial and print side, I've worked as a principal actor and model for brands including LiveFlow Inc., monday.com, Truly Free Home, and the NYS Department of Health. I'm known for providing a natural and approachable presence on camera, while being a collaborative partner throughout the entire production process. With a background in bari-tenor singing, hip-hop dance, and over 10 years of violin experience, I bring versatility and dependability to every project.
