}} Kim Kang-woo (born July 11, 1978) is a South Korean actor. ==Career== Kim Kang-woo majored in Theater and Film at Chung-Ang University,〔"(Meet Kim Kangwoo, who was the recipient of "Best Actor" at the 25th Torino Film Festival for his performance in ''The Railroad''. )". ''Arirang News''. Retrieved 2009-05-09.〕 and made his acting debut in Kim Ki-duk's 2002 film ''The Coast Guard'' while still a senior, later commenting that the role of a soldier was the only one he could get without any prior experience. Subsequent roles in the drama series ''Breathless'' and ''Three Leafed Clover'' earned Kim the nickname "Mr. Right" as he became known for his portrayal of honest and diligent characters.〔Kwon Mee-yoo. "(Actor Kim Works to Enjoy His Calling )". ''The Korea Times'', 25 December 2007.〕 His first leading film role was in Jeong Jae-eun's 2005 sophomore feature ''The Aggressives'', for which he and co-star Chun Jung-myung were the co-recipients of the "Best New Actor" award at the 6th Busan Film Critics Awards.〔"(Film Awards Ceremonies in Korea )". ''Koreanfilm.org''. Retrieved 2009-05-09.〕 In 2007, Kim starred in Park Heung-sik's ''The Railroad'', which told the story of two strangers who reveal their inner pain to each other when they are stranded at the last railway station before the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Kim was upset when the film was only released in ten theaters, and went to screenings by himself in an effort to promote the film, where he greeted and conversed with members of the audience.〔"(Actor Inspired by Hungry Spirit )". ''The Dong-a Ilbo'', 4 December 2007.〕〔Jean Oh. "(No run-of-the-mill Romeo )". ''The Korea Herald'', 9 April 2009.〕 In spite of its poor box office performance, ''The Railroad'' found favour with critics, and Kim won the "Best Actor" award at the 25th Torino Film Festival. Although happy to win the award, Kim found it more gratifying to observe Italian audiences responding to the film in the same way as Korean audiences, recognizing the power of film to transcend national borders.〔〔Cathy Rose A. Garcia. "(Actor Kim Kang-woo Wins in Turin )". ''The Korea Times'', 2 December 2007.〕 He also admitted to being anxious because of the increased expectations people would have over his future performances.〔 Kim found commercial success with his next film, ''Le Grand Chef'', which despite opening during a slow season sold more than three million tickets to become the fourth biggest selling South Korean film of 2007.〔〔"(The Best Selling Films of 2007 )". ''Koreanfilm.org''. Retrieved 2009-05-11.〕 Based on a popular manhwa, the film focused on the conflict between two rival chefs, played by Kim and Im Won-hee. To prepare for his role, Kim attended cooking classes for one and a half months, and for one crucial scene in particular he visited a slaughterhouse, receiving a big shock as he knew nothing about the slaughtering process.〔"(''Le Grand Chef'' depicts story of talented cook )".

''Hancinema'', 22 October 2007 (originally published by ''The Korea Herald'').〕 In addition, he was required to film a number of scenes with a cow, and spent some ten days acquainting himself with it—grooming it, feeding it and taking it for walks—remarking that it was "like working with a very sensitive actress".〔 In August 2014, Kim left his previous management agency Namoo Actors, and signed with C-JeS Entertainment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kim Kang-woo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
