From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steve Park is a Korean American comedian. Originally a stand-up comedian, his best known work includes being a cast member of In Living Color during the 1991-1992 season and the roles of Mike Yanagita in Fargo and Sonny in Do The Right Thing. During his run on In Living Color, he often portrayed Asian characters, or spoofed people such as Yoko Ono and Connie Chung. He is married to another former cast member of In Living Color, Kelly Coffield.

After witnessing a racial incident while doing a guest role on the show Friends, he wrote a mission statement requesting that the media portray Asian Americans in a more positive light in order to discourage hate towards them.[1]

He played a secondary character, Mike Sorayama, in the Cartoon Network Adult Swim cartoon The Venture Bros. He is now doing commercials, most recently seen as a lab technician in a Schick Quattro Titanium Razor commercial.
