Yes! Mr. Kim is actually a Filipino. I read this articla made by Ricky Lo. His may not ring a bell but he is Mr. William " bill" Kim of Prison Break. For Prison break and wentworth miller fan, this is person who is giving the brothers a hard time..lolz!
Heres the link for his story and some accolade! http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryId=78080
I cant help feeling proud that some of the filipinos are making it big in Hollywood. (Including Rob Schneider, Mark Dacascos, Ramon de Ocampo, Lou Diamond Philips, Tia Carrere, Paolo Montalban and Dante Basco who co-starred with Antonio Banderas in Take The Lead)
Does this make you proud too?

despising agent kim in the tv series prison break, never in my mind had i thought that he is a filipino!! he doesnt look like one.. i was even shocked when i found out that he speaks fluent tagalog and that he spoke tagalog in his audition for the film!
there are still a lot filipinos in hollywood and it makes me, and all should, proud! kudos to them all... show that we are as talented as others!

yes... his chinese features are more prominent, so you might recognize him as such and not as a filipino.. he acted so well the tv series that he is despised. i cant wait to see him in the film and maybe other tv series and film in the future...

Oh yeah! I'm such an avid follower of Prison Break. I love the story and of course, Mr. Michael Scoffield himself. Haha! Isn't he so so cutie?!?!!
Anyways, I've only learned about Bill Kim being a Filipino just last night. My dad was reading the newspaper written by Ricky Lo about his interview with "Bill Kim". I caught a glimpse of his large pic with the caption "Reggie Lee: from QC to Hollywood." I was so intrigued with the QC thing and so I grabbed the paper from my dad (haha!) and read the whole article. I was so amazed and so proud of him. Plus the fact that he is also a starrer in Pirates 3 made me proud the more.
I salute Reggie Lee in his acting in Prison Break. He's such an effective villain that just by seeing his face made me hate him. But after learning that he's a Filipino, goodness, i adore him already! It's a good thing that he puts a nice name to our citizenship. Just great! Hooray to all the Filipinos!!!! :)

sometimes i do when the star recognizes their filipino ancestry. Otherwise, why should i be? when they themselves doesn't flaunt their filipino lineage. to add another 'future star' is the winner of the reality-based search for the next pussycat doll. Asia is a filipina, what i'm not sure of is whether she's proud to be one.
