Namkoong Min is a screen veteran of the old school with the unglamorous consistency that long careers are made of. The filmography leans toward drama. 25 years of work add up to around 36 titles. The film 'Bad Guy' accounts for more of the public profile than anything else does. 'A Dirty Carnival' is the other credit that tends to come up. The oldest credits belong to a different era of the industry.
