Jun Matsuo was born in Tokyo. Inheriting German-American blood from his grandfather, his exotic features immediately make him stand out among the growing number of internationally-renowned Japanese actors. After studying 'method acting' for several years with the Zen Hirano Acting Seminar, he began to develop his skills and went on to hone them at a number of other acting schools. Since making the shift from theater to film, he has grown into a gifted actor who continues to evolve and utilize his very own acting method. Apart from acting, he is fluent in English and has done extensive physical training, experimenting with such crafts as tate (traditional Japanese swordplay), karate and kickboxing. With an incredible dynamic range and international edge, Jun represents a new breed of Japanese actors waiting for the next chance to prove himself.
