I was pleasantly surprised by this four minute mini movie called Miles Apart advertised by United Airlines on Facebook:
“While flying United Polaris business class back to her job in the Big City, a conflicted traveler overshares with her fellow passengers and crew about a rather complicated reunion with her ex over the holidays. When love takes flight, will miles get in the way? With Ginna Claire Mason and Ryan Youngwoong Kim. Featuring United employees Enricka A., Corey J., Marienid R., Kimberly A. and Eric M., Ginna Claire’s real-life husband! ”
I wonder why the actress Ginna Claire’ Mason‘s real life husband “Eric” play her boyfriend in Miles Apart. Maybe he’s shy!
According to actor Ryan Youngwoong Kim’s IMDB mini biography:
“Ryan Youngwoong Kim is a Korean-American actor. Ryan was born in Southern California and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. He has trained at Terry Knickerbocker Studio, The Actors Circle, UCLA’s School of Theater, Film & Television, and privately with respected acting coaches in New York and Los Angeles. Prior to pursuing acting full-time, Ryan attended NYU School of Law and was a senior attorney at a prestigious law firm in New York.”
I’m guessing that Ryan’s parents (like many Asian parents) didn’t want him to pursue an entertainment career or that he didn’t think it was originally possible. Other Asian heritage actors of note that had a legal background or education prior to pursuing acting are Ronny Chieng and Gemma Chan. I’m hoping we see more of Ryan Youngwoong Kim in the future!
