"It's the very first time I've been number one on a call sheet,"
"It's nice to know that after thirty years in this industry, there's still heights for me to reach, things for me to achieve,"
"It's nice to feel like there's momentum in my career. There are a lot of things I still haven't done, and it's nice to keep those goals in mind as I go forward."
Daniel Dae Kim, at 57, takes his first-ever leading role in the Prime Video spy series Butterfly. He began acting in 1992 with Unsolved Mysteries and the martial-arts film American Shaolin and rose to prominence on television with Lost, Hawaii Five-O, and Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender as Fire Lord Ozai. Kim expresses humility and continued ambition, noting there are still heights to reach after thirty years in the industry. He has leveraged his visibility for Asian American activism, testifying before the House Judiciary Committee and helping prompt the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act. He also starred in the 2024 Broadway satire Yellow Face. Butterfly is adapted from a BOOM! Studios comic by Arash Amel and Marguerite Bennett and is not explicitly political.
