}} Cha Seung-won (born June 7, 1970) is a South Korean actor. He began his career as an in-demand fashion model in the 1990s, before embarking on an acting career. Cha achieved stardom through the hit comedy films ''Kick the Moon'' (2001), ''Jail Breakers'' (2002), ''My Teacher, Mr. Kim'' (2003) and ''Ghost House'' (2004). After proving his versatility in other genres, notably the period thriller ''Blood Rain'' (2005) and melodrama ''My Son'' (2007), Cha's popularity continued with the television series ''Bodyguard'' (2003), ''City Hall'' (2009), and ''The Greatest Love'' (2011). == Career == Cha Seung-won dropped out of Sungkyunkwan University,〔 and began a successful career as a fashion model in 1988.〔("Cha Seung-won's Movie Picks" ). 10Asia. January 18, 2010.〕 He was cast in the TV sitcom ''New York Story'', which would eventually pave the way for his debut in film.〔("Actors and Actresses of Korean Cinema: Cha Seung-won" ). Koreanfilm.org. Retrieved 2012-11-04.〕 Although his debut film ''Holiday In Seoul'' (1997) and many of his subsequent roles did not establish him as a major star, he attracted attention in 2000 for his performance as an arsonist in the firefighting film ''Libera Me''. The following summer, the runaway success of Kim Sang-jin's comedy ''Kick the Moon'' (over 4.3 million tickets sold) secured his place in the industry as a leading actor with strong star appeal.〔 Since then, Cha has become one of the few surefire box office draws in the country. In a 2005 survey of influential movie producers, he was ranked among the top ten most bankable stars.〔("Jang Dong-gun Voted Korea's Most Bankable Star" ). The Chosun Ilbo. October 20, 2005.〕 In early 2003, Cha took on a slightly more serious role as a corrupt schoolteacher who is transferred to a country school in the film ''My Teacher, Mr. Kim''. The film grossed over 2.4 million admissions and drew Cha additional praise for his acting abilities (he would later team up again with director Jang Gyu-seong for 2007 comedy ''Small Town Rivals''〔("''Small Town Rivals'' puts comic twist on friendship" ). The Korea Herald. March 22, 2007.〕). His next role, in ''Ghost House'', reunited him with director Kim Sang-jin in a successful comedy about a man who buys a dream home, only to discover it is haunted by a young female ghost.〔 In 2005 Cha put aside the comic roles he had become known for and appeared in the grisly period thriller ''Blood Rain''.〔("Dogged Cha Seung-won: Movie ''Tears of Blood''" ). The Dong-a Ilbo. April 13, 2005.〕〔("K-FILM REVIEWS: 혈의 누 (Blood Rain)" ). Twitch Film. September 12, 2005.〕 The film's unexpectedly robust commercial success confirmed Cha's popularity among Korean audiences.〔 He further proved his versatility in Jang Jin's ''Murder, Take One'' (also known as ''The Big Scene'').〔("Cha Seung-won: Not Groomed for Stardom" ).
