Dennis started modeling at the age of 16 as he applied for a model contest he had heard from the radio by chance while working out in his basement. He had majored in illustration at first at Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD)[1], but later changed it to photography thinking he needed to learn it properly while modeling through Asian countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. He also considers to become a professional photographer when he retires from the entertainment industry.

He began his career in South Korean entertainment industry by modeling in a couple of TV commercials, and then was cast to [Sweet Spy] by the producer Ko Dong-sun in 2005. In the drama, he appears as a mysterious spy 'Han Yu-il' who falls in love with an ordinary female police officer. As he assimilated the homme-fatal character so superbly, he created an unprecedented sensation in the cyber space that a portal website was once stuck by too much traffic. The music video of [Barammanbaramman] by Kim Jong-gook & SG Wanna Be in which he performed with Han Ga-in, made a big hit as well.

He starred in the SBS drama [Manyeo Yuhee] (Witch Yuhee) in the spring, 2007, as a role of a famous french chef Johnny Crooger from New York, and performed in Korean, which required tremendous courage for an English-mother-tongue.

He is one of the most popular half-Korean type actors in South Korea having an advantage of his unique attraction - balanced image of western and eastern looking. Now he prepares to expand his career in various fields throughout Asia and the United States.
