Leonardo Nam nationality: Is Leonardo Nam Korean?
Born in Argentina to Korean immigrant parents and raised in Sydney, Australia, Nam attended Sydney Technical High School and studied architecture at the University of New South Wales, before deciding to move to New York City at the age of 19 to pursue his dream of becoming an actor.
That dream isn’t too far off. The 37-year-old Nam can rock a tuxedo, as he did in last month’s Screen Actors Guild Awards; he’s played an Asian version of a non-Asian character before (2002’s “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”); and he has a thick Australian accent (not to mention, he also knows Spanish and Korean).
